True, but it's only 4% and the benefits outweigh the losses.That means you get 4% less energy (and consequently 4% fewer miles) per gallon.

So?
You asked what the difference was... not whether the added cost was acceptable.

Good point... you asked how they were bad, not whether the badness was acceptable.

I only use oxygenated fuel when thats all I can find.

oxygenated fuel is fuel with MTBE or ethanol added.

E85 is 85% ethanol, and some newer vehicles can use it. Oxygenated fuels can be used in regular gasoline engines. My local stations, and I think all of NY state, use 10% ethanol or MTBE.

Oregon won't let you pump your own gas either. But every time I've gone there with the bike they hand me the pump and let me fill up myself. I love the fact that their pumps don't have the little foreskin thing you have to pull back to get the pump to work.
