I had been filling up at Sunoco for the last 3 years, and only recently I
noticed on one pump that their gas had some amount of ethanol in it (I
forget the actual percentage, but I think it was 10%). Not to defend the
use of ethanol, but so far my '93 Accord's performance and gas mileage have
not suffered as a result of using Sunoco gas (I still average 33mpg on the
highway, which is well above EPA's original estimate). Perhaps I should try
Esso again to see if slight improvements in both can still be achieved.
