[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jimbo: [QB] MTBE(oil based) and Ethanol (corn based) are oxygenates, they help the catylitic converter work more effciently. Since it is an oxygenate I suppose it could cause leaness, worse gas mileage, and release less energy. All California gas(except race gas) must have this aditive, this is why the oil co.'s claim that our gas is more expensive than the rest of the nation. MTBE will be banned soon because it was found to be a big pollutant to ground water, ethanol will be the only oxygenate soon. Gasoline is basically a commodity but the different oil companies add their additives(Chevron w/Techron, 76 w/Pro-Power) and whatever oxygenate they choose. I use 76 gas because it smells better :D :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
