Yes, you will get slightly less gas milage. maybe 2%. on 10% ethanol. Most people won't notice. You get MORE power from ethanol, That is why it is being used by the drag racers, and Indy cars. Watch the IHRA drags on Speed, and you will even see a funny car that is sponsored by the Ethanol association. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
