| _____________________________________ [May 17,2006 2:19pm - BSV@school ""] I've noticed this too. I was talking with one of the heads of the auto school at mass bay ashland, he says ethanol is a great hype that is doing little to nothing to help consumers. |

I've been complaining to a couple people and one other person's down about 10%. he's got a laptop hooked up to his car. I noticed that I don't have as much power and have to have the pedal down farther to get the same speed. also gas jumped up to $2.99/gallon. anothe guy's gas milage went up too. |

I baby my truck and always take care of it. I think I need to balance and rotate my tires which can also help. It now costs me $74 to fill my truck, gotta love that 30 gallon tank :whipper:. |
