Most states switch back April 1 but considering the weather in the NE it could be later.

Hopefully soon... I get 2-3mpg less with winter mix.

Do they really use a summer/ winter blend fuel where it never gets cold?
I live in southern California and the lady at the place where I get fuel said the last big jump was because they went to summer blend. It does not get below 60* here and I see no need for it. The fuel pumps at the 76 station claim the fuel is oxygenated and contains MTBE also.
I thought that was only in gasoline.

I would think they would, at least at the truck stops.
You never know where the semi filling up at the pump is headed to, would hate to have to foot the bill if he gelled up halfway to his stop.

I could be totally off base though.
