ha ha ha Well, I do see how your long term data supports my position. My initial Elantra data never was meant to compare E0 & E10, since(as you note), my E10 use was too sparse. For years, the E0/E10 price gap has increased here, specially during fuel price drops. & since the collapsed E10 prices last year, E0 has been as much as 20% (even 40%) more expensive than E10 in our region. I've had to use E10. Since oil companies are offering more E0(E0 listings have increased to 9253 sources), I think oil companies have to pay more EPA penalties(thus the far greater E0 price). However, states like Oklahoma still have good E0 prices. I hate filling at gas stations & miss the greater range & 400+ miles per tank as often as I used to with E0(a trace smoother idle, quieter & a bit greater low rpm torque, too).
Just add your E0 data to your continuing E0 long term data. As I said already, short term data is fun, but long term data is for......believing. I think you must be a careful driver. There are hints that E0 shows its greatest increase over 10% ethanol blends for careful drivers who don't push their engines hard.
