MTBE...RFG...mumble, mumble.... 200

The Chevron guy, and all the EPA types who are avoiding this issue must be high on MTBEs.

Last time a Brickboard discussion splashed into RFG I looked this up, and duh, just like diesel fuel and jet has a higher caloric density than gasoline, RFG has a LOWER caloric density than normal gasoline.

Well, so why WOULDN'T gas mileage go down???

At the moment I live in a RFG area and drive to my client co. in a non-RFG area. During winter months I do ALL my fillups in the non-RFG area. Besides better quality -higher caloric density - gasoline, the gas is cheaper.

Typical that gov't do-good programs will have an effect 180-degees from their intended target, ie. saving us from air pollution would poison more people.
