I'm seeing a few less miles a gallon.

I don't know if it is done here in Cali, but on the east coast the pumps used to say that the gas was oxygenated between the months of Oct or Nov to March or April. That lowers fuel economy.
Adding ethanol reduces power and probably fuel economy as well. I've seen a few stations that say ethanol can be as much as 15% of the mix.
On the flipside, we live in Cali and we have the sh!ttiest gas here.
