I usually refuel at half tank mark. My mileage went from approx 8 mpg to about 14 mpg, because they don”t use ethanol. I have a 2014 fleetwood on Ford chassis with the V10. I had more power an awesome gas milage. so everyone is getting hurt when they aded ethanol.

I asked several Chevy Service departments if E15 was safe to run. Answers varied from “Don’t Know” to “probably” to “It should be Ok.” Supposedly vehicles made after 2001 should be Compatable. Some speculated that fuel mileage might be worse.
Others thought mileage might be unchanged or better. Therefore, I was considering using at least one tank of E15.
Thank you so much for mentioning that Onan/Cummings says not to use anything more than E10. That ended my consideration of the E15, with its cost savings.

I have been told by different mechanics to not run biodiesel as it will shorten the life of my diesel engine (2006 5.9L Cummins). Pilot and Flying J are selling biodiesel in California (and other states?) so I avoid going to them. Also, why are they like $0.30 a gallon higher than the station across the street or down the block for the same diesel?

Hello Ralph,

We’ve received a response to your question for our expert:

That will have a standard OBD2 reader that can be checked anywhere. You can purchase one of these readers fairly cheap too, decent ones are around $40-$50 which could be cheaper than spending the gas in travel. Harbor Freight and other auto parts or hardware stores sell basic models that still work well.

The CHECK ENGINE light is on. Should I have it diagnosed at an Auto Zone, NAPA, or other parts store to see if the oxygen sensor, gas filter, or some other part needs to be replaced. I drive about 60 mph at about 2250 rpm and get 8-9 mpg. Thanks!
