How is that possible though, I could be wrong but pretty sure you can’t even get a diesel nozzle into a gasoline car??

Only way this would ever happen is if the station tank was filled with diesel.

Gasoline to diesel car happens all the time though

Diesel and premium shared a pump (those old school two nozzle ones)... I’m not exaggerating about idiots. I’d watch customers go to the wrong side of their car 3x in a row before giving up and leaving... I was one of the few young, part timers. Most staff were lifers... and this was prime “boom” time, when it only took a pulse to get a $100k rig job, these people rather put in 60hr weeks for $7/hr

Yeah... so much stupidity, not as bad as my fist full time job though when I was on a roof replacing commercial nat gas pipes... when I smelled raw gas to turn around and see the stupidest person I have to this day ever met... cutting threw a live line with a sawsall

I dunno, I usually taste my gas a little before filling to ensure purity. Similar to cocaine.

Unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is kinda sour, and diesel tastes pretty good.

So I put Co-op 87 into my Santa Fe XL. Looks like I got slightly better fuel economy on the tank. I refilled last night and went down to Lakeview this morning, got incredible mileage (7.8L/100km).

theres far too many factors to say that gasoline was the only reason that happened.

Except its accurate. No ethanol means better fuel economy. Period.

Um, how about traffic, weather, routes taken, tire pressure, etc..... were they ALL equal for the two tanks?

Doesn't matter in context to my statement. You will always get better mileage without ethanol in your gas.

Ethanol free was why I first started going to co-op, the cherry is full service especially in winter. Their car wash is awesome too. I've been going to co-op for over 10 years now haha.

87 and 89 definitely has some ethanol it in. Here's the latest.

I have been using the Hamptons co-op for years now to fill my wife's Outback and the car wash is IMO the best of the touchless. I still use Shell 91 exclusively for my car.

No, you're absolutely correct. It's only a slight improvement in mileage I'm getting though overall (10.2 => 10 L/100KM).
