That's actually a significant possibility. Our winter mix gives my truck
18.4mph, the summer mix about 20.5mpg and when we have a shortage I've seen
a mix that gave me as much as 22.5mpg so definitely a huge difference in
the fuel I've seen to say nothing about what is actually possible.

There is a big thing going on here now where they are removing MTBE from
fuel and I think the replacement is Methanol (of course this is being done
so ADM can get their stickey fingers into the fuel market if for no other
good reason)
