Goss's Garage in Washington Post.

"Boston, Mass.: my car, an '04 Buick Regal, seems to be getting slightly lowered mileage in city driving since ethanol has been added to the gasoline -- the car has less than 30,000 on the clock and was getting 17-18 mpg in the worst kinds of urban driving and about 30 mpg on the highway -- is it possible that the ethanol has a negative effect on mileage?

Pat Goss: You gotta love this Ethanol mess. Ethanol in gasoline guarantees reduced fuel economy. 2 percent -- 15 percent depending on the vehicle."
