    I use E0 gasoline when I can, but there are only two stations in
    my county that carry it. One on the way back from my
    former job, and one a couple miles away from my
    current job.

    Luckily except for places like Kwik trip and a Costco all 93 octane in my part of WI is no ethanol. It is not cheap but I can get it. Over time I have tracked the difference when I get E10 and E0. I average between 45 and 50 miles per tank further. I have never bothered with the math and I am sure that by book the extra miles don't justify the fuel cost. But Ehh, if I did the math I would have never ordered my third mini.

    Keep corn out of the gas tank...

    Corn needs to stay on the cob slathered with butter and a sprinkling of salt paired with some great bratwurst....

    E0 is not about fuel mileage :mad2: its about the environment and about how well it works in your motor.

    No MINI is designed to run on E15.

    Will it run it yes, but is it worth your fuel system and maybe motor? NOPE :frown2:

    I like my corn on the cob. :ihih:

    that's rich, the corn belt states have the whole county burning their corn, but there you can buy alcohol free gas!
