Weather can be a factor but some areas do not hve the ethanol except in the colder months. At least that is my understanding. You will lose about 10% when they mix with ethanol.

John sounds like the winter blended gas is making its way into the tanks already.

Yeah I hope it is just that. I am hoping to get a gryphon around xmas which should help with the economy tune. And that would protect me from losing a few mpg's with the wheels/tires that I get in the summer.

Well guys... off to the gym to work out... and check out all the "Ford trucks on Treadmills"

Later

I have been using the Shell with Nitrogen since they came out with it and I have been getting around 18 in mine. Truck runs better to me. I've been getting around 438 miles to a tank too and thats a plus for me.

might be the first tank of winter blended gas

I'm getting worried. I ate a couple of the big raw green bean thingys and a broccoli head all with the ranch dressing. I just went back and got a celery stick. Now, I hate celery! It tasted pretty good. I think I'm getting sick. I may be going through the change of life I have heard so much about.

She sent me a sext. Her server is down. I think she is going nuts over there. Randall can probably hear the screams. I feel sorry for the computer guy. How would you like trying to diagnose and fix a problem with all that screaming going on?

Morning fellas. I'm finally here. Got to the office this morning and all the computers were dead - no server, nothing. After 3 trips for parts, the IT guy finally found that there was a bad switch that had all the server and ethernet cables running through it. Problem finally solved.

Jim - I am extremely worried about you. Celery?

That cant be good. I am surprised she doesn't have him held at gun point until he fixes it.
