Bad Gas!

I fueled up at a gas station that I usually don't shop at and noticed that my mileage dropped to 25mpg!  Normally I get 33 to 35mpg so losing 8mpg is noticeable.  Just thought I'd let people know that it's not always your bike that's the cause of lower mpg, it might be your gas station! 

I also know that anytime you can get fuel with out ethanol you're going to get better mileage.

Any comments or discussions would be great!

I've also noticed a slight difference in early spring and late fall (probably catching remnants of winter fuel blends).  You may notice it as well on the other side of the Lake ... just another wonder of those mid-west winters.
