It's all a sham and "bad" science! It costs less per gal of gas, because there is actually less gas! It makes less power because it lacks the Cetane rating of gas ( like octane but different) and is highly corrosive to non treated parts! It is also really good at washing lube off of parts that need lube, so it increases wear and tear much more! Because it makes less power, engines have to work harder to make the same power that we desire, because the engines are having to work harder, they increase emissions by quite a bit, and because the fuel washes out the lube, your engine oil gets polluted much more and lasts way fewer miles! I have seen reports of auto manufactures claiming a 30% decrease in life span, a 40% increase in repair/replacement costs, and the added cost to produce a product is up 13% which gets passed on to the buyer! They get you at every turn! Then you have folks like me that have old rigs. I have had to replace entire fuel systems because this fuel literally destroys them! My Jeep has been through three Carbs, and two replacement fuel sending units! They don't make aftermarket parts to deal with these issues for old rigs like mine, so we have to improvise! The worst thing is this fuel cost me a $6000 Out Board!!!
