I did this experiment once.
I took gas about the time they stop producing the winter formulation, put it in a sealed container waited a month or 2 till virginia summer time temperatures had arrived then burned it. I was able to pickup +2mpg the 2 times I was able to run the experiment.
I was expecting there to be no difference.
I was running a normal tune on my camaro's carb at the time.
