Have any of you tried to check your mileage using different brands of gas? I know in my toad, some brands will increase mileage and performance.

i am more concerned about buying gas made from oil that is NOT from the middle east than a little mileage difference!

Actually I have checked my mileage for out motorhome useing different brands of gas. We get better mileage useing BP or Shell. Poor mileage useing Kwik Trip (unless it's the rare one that sells BP) and Mobil. I was surprised at not getting better mileage with Mobil. Phillups 66 is ok but we don't see many in our area of travels. I avoid Citgo because of where it comes from.

When we had the gassers, never noticed any difference really, provide there was plenty of the gasoline.

i forgot to add that you are going to get less mileage and performance with ethanol in the fuel.
