Hi All,
I have a question about my Flex Fuel gas mileage. For some odd reason, when I put flex fuel in my Exp (yes its made for flex fuel) and I do it to try and save money on gas when I am in CA for work as the gas prices there are ridiculous. But, when I do, I get way less mileage on a tank of flex fuel then I do regular gas. Of course that then defeats the purpose of having a flex fuel vehicle. In reading about flex fuel, vehicles that accept flex fuel are supposed to get much better gas mileage with that gas on top of the big fuel savings. Mine gets about half the mileage on flex fuel than what I get with putting regular fuel in. Everyone I have asked so far (mechanics and people working at places like Pep Boys, Autozone, etc.) have no clue. Most have no experience or knowledge about flex fuel vehicles it seems. If anyone can give me information about why I am having this issue and if there is anything I can do to fix the problem, would greatly appreciate it.
