mk1_62 Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) The station down the road is now selling this, has anyone else tried it? Nissan recommends it in the manual. I am wondering if it will help with mileage. Edited February 24, 2017 by mk1_62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy_george Posted February 25, 2017 I'm not necessarily pro- or anti- ethanol, but I believe the theory is that if you run pure gasoline, your mileage should be a tick better. Generally the price is a tick higher, also. Most stuff around here is 10% ethanol, but there are some stations that advertise "ethanol free". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk1_62 Posted February 26, 2017 The manual does say the less the better and don't use e-15 or e-85. I am personally anti ethanol since it kills engines faster. Most landscapers avoid the stuff because of what it does to 2 cycle engines. 1 andy_george reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ASD Dad Posted February 27, 2017 I've run ethanol free a few times. I do get better mileage but it is not offset by the cost of the gas. Around here a lot of stations sell it but it is all priced the same as Premium gas so it is quite a bit more. I also run Premium when towing in the mountains, it helps guard against pinging and the motor pulling timing to stop it. I only run ethanol free in all my outdoor motors. Ethanol is terrible for all of those motors especially if it sits longer than a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk1_62 Posted February 27, 2017 I have a company has card(granted I own the company) so it's a write-off anyway. I just filled up last week, so I'll see how it does after a few tanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
