>Correct. Fact- Oxygenated fuels are less in BTU content than comparable
fuel, less efficient, therefore, less power produced, higher consumption. Period. This is easily verified. When they started using this in California the gas companies said that you would get 2-3% lower milage. In actually it is more like 10-12%. I mentally check my mileage at each fillup to watch for possible problems. When riding where conventional fuel is still used, I always note a increase in fuel mileage by around 10%. Gary Bettes

Cut them into two pieces, front and back. The inside has a nice white writing surface, fold into a neat 4"x6" square. Knot - who is a record keeping fool, no - just fool.
