I have been keeping track of the mileage in my 09 Colorado 5 cylinder since day 1. First I ran E10 exclusively. Six months ago I switched to E15. I filled the tank twelve times with E15 during that time. I compared the mileage on E15 with the mileage running E10 twelve months before, during the winter, and there is no difference. Starting with the next fill up I will be running straight unleaded gasoline. I will post the results after a few tank fulls. I realize driving habits and possibly the tune of the engine change so the test is far from scientific. Also I don't know if the fuel I was using was exactly 10% or 15% alcohol at the pump. My old S10 showed no difference in mileage between E10 and regular. I have tried mileage comparisons between the two fuels with the 08 Toyota van on long trips but there were too many variables, mainly involving wind and terrain. Marilyn drives the van around home and I honestly don't know what she fills it with. The mileage always runs about the same with local driving.
As far as reliability goes, yeah, we have five cars sitting along the road per mile with ethanol problems. The diesels are the worst!!!!!! LOL

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
