Everyone should experience worse mileage using ethanol. Anyone who doesn't, isn't paying attention. I haven't read this whole tread, but ethanol's deleterious effects are recognized by a number of groups, including Consumers Union, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, and the National Marine Manufacturers Association. You and Nerys are relying on personal anecdotes. Those groups are looking at millions of engines.
