Central Iowa has been about $0.20-0.30+ per gallon less expensive than all of the bordering states. Try to plan most of my fill-ups there.Growing up in Iowa, I was all about my ethanol. That was in the 90s… I was brainwashed to think that it was fantastic and the reason we had cheap gas in Iowa.
But then I moved away for many years in several states that don’t sell ethanol.
Now when I return to Iowa, I’m surprised by two things: 1) Iowa gas isn’t cheap; 2) how my mpg tanks when I get ethanol-it’s legit 2+ mpg than normal.
