No videos! I plead the 5th!

(EDIT: joking aside, we're seriously not doing anything "advanced" in these sessions... with the exception of the BMW owner/EM member from last fall. This is plain vanilla ecodriving - the majority of drivers don't even key-off at long stoplights. Only if they're comfortable with it - I always ask first.)

We've got 10% ethanol at most pumps. "Premium/super" blends are usually ethanol free, last time I checked with the major companies (a few years ago).
