Don't know about the mileage, but my '11 Silverado fuel consumption readout is within a decimal point of what the meter on the pump says when I fill up....usually same pump, same station.
I will attest to the fact that when advertisers say X mpg and add "on gasoline" it is true that ethanol has less BTU's per gallon hence less mpg. Since my station has started using the E10 my mileage has dropped about 2 mpg driving the same route in the same manner.
Oh, and while we are at it, one day the gasoline delivery truck was filling up the tanks and I went over and shot a little bull with the guy. Question was about what fuel, and what additives does he put in it.
Answer was that in his truck he had about 870 gallons of alcohol and 9 x that of gasoline......E10.

To me, a little common sense says why? You'll never know whether he did or didn't and no additives help him to support his low price.

I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
