If we were too worried about mileage nobody would be driving these old cars.Yesterday, I was able to cruise 60-65 mph @ 3000-3200 rpm and got a whooping 13 mpg. I can live with that.
Ethanol Free is the best way to go!!!!!!!
I know, this is a Car Forum, but several weeks ago, I tried to start my Suzuki Bandit M/C. 
Been sitting for 5 years, with about a gallon of gas, with the recommended amount of StaBil. Cranked it over, and it ran for a couple seconds and that's all.
Farted around for about an hour, removing fuel hoses, and made sure gas was making it, to the carbs. It was. Eventually, the carbs had to come out.
After disassembling all the carbs, I noticed every jet in these (4) carbs was plugged solid.
I put all the jets in a Gumout bath, overnight. Next day, I blew them out with compressed air. Didn't touch them. Still plugged solid.
Next, I gave them a Lacquer Thinner bath, for 24 hours, then blew them out. Not a chance. That ethanol gas was like cement in there. 
I tried gasoline, for the hell of it, knowing it wasn't gonna work. It didn't. Finally, the light bulb turned on. I used PB Blaster, to get all these jets out, of the carbs, without ruining them. I'll try soaking them in it. Worth a try, right? Next day, I hit them with compresed air, and ALL of them were open. Holy Sh*t.
One thing I noticed, the PB Blaster had softened the plastic cup, the jets were in, and it started leaking, on my bench. My point, of all this rambling, I will NEVER use Ethanol Gas, in any of my bikes, or lawnmowers, again. That shit is Poison.
Just remember, to drain it all out, for the winter. Don't leave it in there.
For five years!!!I bought 5 Gallons of Non-Ethanol High Test gas, at our local Stewart's Shop's, $ 3.95 a Gallon.
I bought a Husqvarna weed eater about 8 years ago and they doubled the factory warranty if I purchased 3 quarts of their premix gas with the weed eater. That tells me that the majority of their warranty claims are from people mixing their gas using 10% ethanol gas. They figured out that 1 quart of gas will last the average home owner a year so when you buy 3 quarts they are ahead of the game. Ethanol gas is CRAP that big government shoves down our throat!!!I bought 5 Gallons of Non-Ethanol High Test gas, at our local Stewart's Shop's, $ 3.95 a Gallon.
