Don't know about the mileage, but my '11 Silverado fuel consumption readout is within a decimal point of what the meter on the pump says when I fill up....usually same pump, same station.
I will attest to the fact that when advertisers say X mpg and add "on gasoline" it is true that ethanol has less BTU's per gallon hence less mpg. Since my station has started using the E10 my mileage has dropped about 2 mpg driving the same route in the same manner.
Oh, and while we are at it, one day the gasoline delivery truck was filling up the tanks and I went over and shot a little bull with the guy. Question was about what fuel, and what additives does he put in it.
Answer was that in his truck he had about 870 gallons of alcohol and 9 x that of gasoline......E10. On additives, he said: THE CUSTOMER PUTS IN HIS OWN ADDITIVES AS I DELIVER TO THE GENERAL AREA, ALL SHIELDS, AND ONLY HAVE ONE SOURCE OF PRODUCT.........daaaa you think the guy with the cheapest price in town added anything anything to his tanks????????? To me, a little common sense says why? You'll never know whether he did or didn't and no additives help him to support his low price.
Soooo folks, that says we are at the discretion of our fuel supplier for what we get in our tank.......anybody wondering why fuel additives from the auto parts work?

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
