Winter blend gasoline comes with a MPG penalty anyway.

Ethanol gas has the effect of prohibiting private individuals from stocking any gasoline. Heck, after 6 months it destroys small engines.

Wonder why the market is volatile and prices continue to rise? NOT the oil prices as it has been sliding and fuel prices here barely touched- and don't get started on DIESEL price-gouging....

My 2014 VW Passat gets good diesel mileage. Chit better than a v8 pick up gets. Hell, better than most gas high mileage rated cars Price gouging? that's an ethanol/winter/summer gasoline investor game.
