The US is a net exporter of energy. We pump, refine, and create more than we consume. This goes for oil, gasoline, ethanol, natural gas, electricity, etc.
No it's not. The emergency summer waivers are nothing new and have been happening every year post-pandemic under both Trump & Biden administrations. E15 is clearly labeled and still a niche fuel typically only found as 88-octane. I know of only one station (a Shell) selling E15 87 & 89, but I believe some of the national truck stop chains are experimenting with it too. In the Midwest, you'll sometimes see E30 sold as 94-octane.
. I also attempt to not be a dumb ass on the freeway and play the game of resetting the mpg reading to see how high I can get it on a trip. But, usually the dumb ass comes back somewhere in the middle of the trip and ruins my mileage!
Drop in 2 gals of E85 per tank to get your octane up to 93.I was told by two different tuners to stay away from Chevron when it comes to knock and a drop in timing that comes with it. One of the tuners suggested Shell and the other suggested 76. (This is in communist California) where we can only get 91.
I'm sure we can. The problem is Americans make too much money, so 87 would probably be $15 a gallon if we did it all here. Chris can you chime in?
I was stating on steady highway drive at 70 mph , with shell got 28 and with chevron around 22
We're a net exporter and do refine the majority of what we use. We also have among the cheapest energy globally, especially compared to Europe.
A quality TopTier, good sir!
Not all oil is created equally. Our refineries are set up to refine oil different then what we produce due to historical reasons. Hence why we import oil from abroad.
