Anyone know if they use winterblend in Arkansas? I haven't seen postings on the pumps to indicate such. My mileage is really falling off and it's not because my foot is heavier. Just looking for answers.

What part of the state are you in?

Down by Texarkana in Hope. I'm losing about 1-2 mpg's which is just about right from what I hear when using winter blend. If it's not that, what else could it be. I just changed my filter last weekend and am seeing 14psi at idle, 12-13 cruising, and 8-10 WOT.

Well I had to answer my own question. I called a distributor and he said they do not run winter blend in the south. They only run #2.

If I lived in Hope, AR I'd move.

Just don't wanna be affiliated with that "other" guy from that town......

I hear ya. I lived a couple of blocks from his boyhood home and it was funny to see 3-4 tour busses daily drive by to see it. I think I would want my money back. Other than that, it's a real good little town. Nothing ever happens; just the way I like it.

I live up in the Bentonville/Fayetteville area. I usually ask the employees at the stations I fill up at. Not one of them has said that they use blended fuel. I usually fill up at either a Phillips station, Wal-Mart station, or a Pilot truck stop. They have all said that it doesn't get cold enough (for a long time at least) here to justify the change. Just what I've found up here. I haven't noticed any decrease in fuel mileage over the winter. I hand calculate every tank.

I grew up in Texarkana but haven't lived there in 10 years. Man that place has changed a good bit. My grandparents lived in Hope. Not a bad little town, just a little too quiet for my taste.
