Because it has Ethanol in it. The Ethanol increases the octane and lowers the price.

AnswerBecause it has ethanol in it. Ethanol actually decreases the power of gasoline, and subsequently decreases mileage as well. Interestingly, it also makes gasoline more expensive- BUT - this is Iowa, and the government is subsidizing the addition of ethanol to gasoline. In Missouri, where the government does not subsidize, gasoline with ethanol is MORE expensive than its Iowa Counterpart.

Long story short, its cheaper because of government subsidies.

Which gasoline lasts longer burning super- unleaded or unleaded?

Super unleaded gasoline typically has a higher octane rating than regular unleaded, which can enhance performance and efficiency in high-compression engines. However, the burn time or longevity of gasoline isn't solely determined by octane; it also depends on the engine's design and tuning. In general, both types of gasoline will burn for a similar duration when used in the appropriate engines, but super unleaded may provide better performance under certain conditions. Ultimately, the choice between the two should be based on the vehicle's requirements rather than burn time alone.
