Re: Painting...and Gas Mileage...


As a Wisconsinite (GO PACK) and coming from a family that owns a gas
station, I can tell you that no, there are no "additives" added to gas
to stop if from freezing in the winter HOWEVER I do know in
Southeastern, WI depending on the county, ethanol is added to the gas
which while "better" for the environment, does cause a change for the
worse in gas milage by about 30-40 miles per tank.

Definitely enough to notice and think you gots a problem!
