Next time you fill up your car (which I hope is soon and often), look at the labels on the three selections (assumption). Regular, Mid-Range and Premium or some variation of those. That's based on octane ratings.

I'm pretty sure the QuikTrip I normally go to only has one flavor that doesn't have ethanol, not sure if it's the highest octane or not. And I rarely fill the tank on that car, I've only put about 2,000 miles on it in the 2 1/2 years I've owned it.

I can get ~360 miles/tank... and a tank would cost $39 at $3/gallon and $52 at $4/gallon. So, at $3/gallon, it's an extra $3.6 to drive 360 miles at 80mph instead of 65. At $4/gallon, it's an extra $4.9. Compared to the $13 extra at the tank, a few extra dollars doesn't really matter.... especially considering my sanity of driving that closely with other people. |

Ethanol also contains less energy than gasoline, so you do lose some mileage/gallon. But Ethanol has a higher octane rating than gasoline, so higher performance and power. |

Missourians will only be refunded on the 2.5 cent increase per gallon, and not the entire fuel tax. Additionally, only Missouri motor fuel vehicles weighing less than 26,000 pounds for highway use will be eligible. To get refunded from the state, the process is not as simple as mailing in the receipts. According to the Department of Revenue's website, a refund claim form will be available on the department's website prior to July 1, 2022. It is also working on an online system to submit refunds. The form can be submitted from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2022. |
