Difference in blend: higher fuel efficiency or higher power fuel?
I am getting better mpg too now that I switched from Shell to 7-11 Convenience Store brand gas. I agree 100% with Bates, some brands have less Ethanol than others so the gas with less Ethanol will provide better power and MPG due to the increased energy received from lower Ethanol. The Shell stations I used to use had signs at the pump saying it contains "Up To 10% Ethanol". 7-11 pumps say the gas has "Less Than 10% Ethanol". I think there are less detergents and Ethanol in 7-11 gas so it has more energy and I get better power and MPG from it. I will keep using 7-11 for a while, and see what my results are.
