10% Ethanol
I lived between Dickson and Clarksville. In 2007 Tennessee mandated Ethanol mix. I was getting 375 miles per tank driving back and forth to Nashville daily, after a few tanks my mileage went to about 260 miles. I now live in Texas and they have the same mandate in most counties surrounding DFW area. I found one station that carries ethanol free gas and I got back to my regular range of 375 - 390 per tank. The Ethanol als caused rust / corrosion build up in the tank and stopped up my fuel filter. The link provided earlier was how I found a location in my area. Be prepared to pay more, mine is about 60 cents more per gallon. Well worth the cost, less wear and tear on my truck...
