Gas pump manipulation??

[fattboyzz]

This exactly along with probably rigged pumps as well. I used to drive my diesel Cummins @800 miles on a tank before the ultra low diesel in 2007. Now I get around 550 miles on a tank. I know some of that is age, but good grief. Also notice since 2007 the manufactures put out a larger engine to make up for decreased power due to the "new fuel". So decreased power from fuel change = less mileage. Then made a larger engine to make up for lost performance, again = less fuel mileage

Kinda like my Ranger use to get 450 miles on a tank of gas with a good tuneup and reasonable driving.

Now I cant even get 400 out of a tank with this crap

A 32 gallon tank is still a 32 gallon tank, cannot grow bigger. Could it be that you are just pushing it farther up the filler neck? I do believe they are putting more white lightning in the mix, alcohol evaporated a lot faster.

Got a nice 800 mile round trip coming up.
Mileage with our new summer blend down 10% to 20, price around $4.25/gal,
Looks like $170 on gas, FJB!

This heat an humidity cause the motors to use more fuel to produce the same energy. Shows up as slower times, and more fuel used.

I think it is also the ethanol hurting gas mileage, but my tanks never held so much gas before. Lately (last few months) have been around 5% "more" capacity according to the pump.

Heat and humidity. Same as if you carried more weight than usual.

Question,
How many times you dealt with weights and measures. Exactly.
Never.
Good bye

How many of y’all own gas stations?

I wonder how much Evap accounts for tank to tank loss, if anything?

Ethanol..another bright idea by our politicians

Obama said to check your tire pressure

Glad you mentioned that. How many times a week do you get a visit from weights and measures???
