I took your info and made some calculations. If gas is $3.399/gal, then one percent of that is 3.399 cents. If (as per the BTU estimates you provided)E10 reduces my mpg by 3.4%, multiply this by 3.399 cents and you get 11.5566 cents per gallon less efficiency. Both Quick Trip in Tulsa(per your interview) and On Cue in Stillwater (per my interview) say that if they weren't selling E10, then prices would be 5 cents more. Take this from the 11.5566 cents per gallon lower efficency and someone is making 6.5566 cents per gallon every time we go to the pump. That's over $1.30 on 20 gallons. The higher gas prices are, the higher this number goes. The bottom line is--I think somebody owes me some money!
