Actually I am running 70% WMO with 30% DIESEL- yes the nights are cold, Zok stays in the garage at night for easier startups and I rarely turn car off at quick stops- just lock it up and let it idle. All my mileage figures are on tanks run from 200 miles plus. I have thought of going to a 50/50 blend to see if I smoke less and regain my power on take off. But then I really suffer on economy when I can just run my chevy at 30+ mpg at 3.45 per gallon. Pretty much a deal breaker for me at 50/50 so haven't jumped into that experiment yet. Thanks for the post.
