OnCue Gas - Getting horrible MPG lately?

[bluedogok]

One of the main reasons why methanol was used as a race fuel was flammability and the fact that it could be effectively extinguished with water since it is hygroscopic. The flammability was a big issue due to gasoline series like F1 and sports cars fires and garage fires in the era of the change and looking for a perceived "safer" alternative.

I don't like the stuff but it has its place, I just don't think it belongs in road fuels.

The following numbers come from the Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, IL.
Very similar numbers can be found in any study of combustion energy sources.

I'm not disputing you but would you provide a link to your source, if one
is available.

That was from a book they have at work. Here is a link that has very similar numbers. https://www.propanecarbs.com/propane.html

Or search "Properties of liquid fuels" and you'll find pages of sources.

I have experienced a 10% MPG drop using OnCue 100% over the past month. I wonder if they secured a contract with a new supplier which is delivering off-batches.

Same with me. I usually go to 7-11, but the fillup before last I couldn't get over 21.3 mpg with On Cue. Filled up with 7-11 night before last and I am back up to 21.8 - 22. By the next time I fill up I will probably be around 23. Then again part of it could be the cold weather and the car choked up to keep warm and keep me warm.

So I know none of this was scientific but I filled up a few days ago with Shell E0 gas after running the tank almost empty from the Oncue stuff and my mileage is back to normal.

Maybe its just one of those things... Shrug.

Just thought I would throw this out there as well considering the time in question for the decreased mileage OKC was experiencing well-below normal temperatures.

Maybe it hasn't even been cold enough, long enough for me to notice, but my Prius has never lost MPG's in the winter. I don't drive my other vehicles (truck, and two SUV's) routinely enough to know if they suffer lost MPG's in colder weather.
