You have a point!

 

Those basstids!...LOL! I love the gulag part, wc. But you left out the part where they also shot the inventor's dog.

 

I was afraid that information would have been to graphic for some on this board. I also heard they left the toilet seat up and trampled his flower bushes.

Evil, evil people.

 

I think for now I'm going to only use the regular stuff. His truck is set to run on E85 and there is only one station in town that has it. Seems like the last time we used E85 the engine didn't care for it too much so we simply stopped using it.

 

E85 is up to 85% ethanol. That's a WHOLE LOT MORE than the 10% commonly used in regular, mid-grade, and premium unleaded. I wouldn't be surprised if E85 ran differently than E10.

 

Ethanol is a subsidized fuel additive that only benefits corn farmers and ethanol manufacturers. My tahoe gets 1-2 mpg better with straight gas. If you Burn E-85 and think you are saving money, check your mileage vs. Actual fuel used and you will be surprised. That is my experience with a flex fuel f150. A lot of environmentalists are even backing off the ethanol love fest as it uses alot of ground water to produce ethanol. If you have to burn more fuel to go the same distance what is the point. That is why I said avoid it if you can.

 

All the info I've ever seen agrees with you.

 

Stay away from that stuff....run a good premium

 

You know...I never realized that was an 85% amount of ethanol. I never used any of it even though my van is a flex-fuel vehicle. Man...that's a lot of corn cobs.

 

I don’t know about you state side boys but in my old carburettor car (a 1981 1.8L 4 cylinder) the 10% ethanol mix gave me crappy millage. So I only used standard.

My current modern fuel injected car (2004 4.0L straight 6) seems to run the same millage with the 10% ethanol vrs standard petrol.
