Just the right amount of octane & ethanol

Almost 400 miles and on the last picture the fuel ⛽️ indicated that it was low but after jumping up a down on the gasoline dispenser I could only manage to get 11 gallons of petrol 93. The previous fill that got me to here was roughly a QT e10 89 and QT 87 clear. Driving back it felt more responsive but only got 34mpg with the Cenex 93 clear and roughly 6 gallons of what was left over. Clearly I think 🤔 there is a point in regular driving on the highway 🛣 that too little or too much octane/ ethanol can give negative effects.

Side not, that was cheap for 93 clear to which I pushed it from the 10.8 gallons to slightly over 11 and to balance out my credit card statement. Tons of $100,000 race boats 🚢 out here in Osage Beach. I think it's probably a must as water and Ethanol don't play nicely.


Currently around 323,000 miles for us, 519,818.112 kilometers if your British.

Osage Beach just 40 miles away for me. There are several times those expensive boats roll through for the events. Why do you put on a lot of miles on you car again? So are you getting better fuel mileage with a 87/89 blend or 93?
