Well, let me put it to you this way. In the 30+ years that I've lived here, you're the first person to suggest that Oregon gas is better than anyone else. Conventional wisdom is that it sucks and none of my cars over the years has ever dramatically exceeded EPA ratings and most don't even approach it.

If you look at it from the point of view that Oregon gas is just adequate and California gas totally sucks because of the CARB formula then that's a possibility I could go along with.

Until recently, ethanol was only used in Oregon gas during the winter months and since most Californias commute up here during the summer, it's not hard to imagine that in the past, Oregon gas provided better mileage, assuming California gas had ethanol year round. But Oregon gas is now 10% ethanol year round, because our state has the failed wisdom of trying to follow suit with California vehicle emissions.

Unfortunately, their cancerous political ideology is creeping across our border along with all their residents. Probably won't be long before an OARB is established and most of my gun rights are taken away and my taxes really start to go up. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

Just don't ask me where I was born. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
