I save $.33 per hour.
The difference is insignificant. But if I work really hard, and find ethanol free fuel, I can get over 60mpg. (then the diff is around $.90) But ethanol is killing me now and I am getting lax in my habits.

You left out how many hours more it takes you to go the same distance. According to what you said, if you are only paying $.33/hour less, then going from 48mpg to 52mpg doubles your travel time. Is this correct? Do you really take twice as long to get to your destination at the speed associated with 52mpg as you do at with the speed associated with 48mpg?
