My ‘95 Burb with the TBI 350, got 12-13 using 87 octane 10% ethanol, if I used 87 octane 0% ethanol, after about 3 tank fills, my mileage jumped to 13-14mpg, the last couple years I had that vehicle, I exclusively used 0% ethanol. Not so much for the mileage gain, but that truck would sometimes sit for 8-10 weeks, the pure gasoline seemed to start better.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I avoid any ethanol or bio diesel. Poorer fuel mileage. Eats some seals and fuel lines. Corrosion problems

I have a 2500 long box pickup that gets about 14 at 75mph highway. About 10 around the farm. A suburban should do a little better? My truck is a 2013 with the 6 speed auto.
