While driving through Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota I noticed one thing while filling up gas in my car.
Gas prices were very close to what we are paying in the metro Milwaukee area, but you could buy the mid-grade for cheaper than the regular grade gas.
Regular $2:12
Mid-Grade $2:04
Premium $2:16
Now you will notice that the prices don’t reflect the normal 10 cents different between grades that you normally see. So what is the catch?
Let me further add this: The Mid and Premium grades have stickers on them saying this – “Enriched with Ethanol”
You look around and see signs that say, “Enriched with Iowa Ethanol for superior performance and mileage”
So in a nutshell the Regular gas is real gas! The good stuff that we used to have! We have seen our mileage reduced by 25% with going to the “Enriched with Ethanol.”
Who is really being “Enriched”? The commercial farmers growing corn and the ethanol plants, not the consumer!
