Gasoline Test Reveals Varied Efficiency Across Conditions
A three year study at Walker laboratory, Rennschaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy New York, shows gasoline efficiency varies week to week day to day and by station even within the same brand. Variations stem from storage, delivery, weather and gasoline heredity, factors largely beyond manufacturer control, sometimes affecting car performance but likely not to a noticeable degree for most drivers. The report notes new insights in the gasoline problem and broader fuel improvements as fuels increasingly meet engine needs. Evaporation losses and fast-evaporating components contribute to test rating fluctuations.
