Now we traded in that avalanche for one that was the regular engine and found that it made more than 35+hp than the last and was only about 1-2 real mpg less than the ethenol on a bad day. Ethenol to me was a ploy by lobbyist toake money for a certain group of grain farmers and investors. Ethenol = over hyped fuel additive like so many other products.
Trust me she probably got bad gas! I had that happened in my s2000 from quicktrip when they switched to their winter seasonal blend which so happened to have WATER in the fuel!!!! I thought I blew a headgasket!!!! Nothing like driving sown the road and then wam no throttle response and white smoke coming out of the exhaust! I was freaked as I just put in my emanage ultimate with a new aggressive race tune... I literally shat bricks!

Think of ethanol as the governments way of being a shady bar. You go in paying for pure alcohol but what you get is watered down beer.
Ethanol just allows them to give you the same amount of fuel but not use as much petroleum and still charge you the same astronomical price at the pump. 
 <<< GOV happy we all don't mind a corroded engine and higher gas prices.
