I use it in my 04 Sport trac and I do get less miles per gallon but I
get more miles per dollar(range). It's costs me $67 to fill the tank
with gas and if I'm luck get about 375-400 miles range.Now for $75 I
can fill the tank and three five gallon cans which gets me 540-570
miles. For almost a dollar less I'll drive the extra 15 miles to get
it. I also have been running a test with E-85 for a while now as I run
it exclusively in my Sport trac. Here are some amazing results.
1. After 4,000 miles the oil comes out just as clean as when it went
in.
CAT oil anyalsys says no HC, no Carbon, no metal.
2. I have more HP. On gas the dyno power to the rear wheels was 192hp,
on e-85 it was 201hp at the same rpm.
I just love this stuff and I love sticking it to all those mid east and
oil companies bastards. Next up is my 93 Jeep which currently is
running on 50% e-85/ 50%gas. The only noticible odities were a few
plugs "bridge gapped" with chunks of carbon. I have seen no failed
seals or fuel lines and it has been well over a year. I spent 14 years
as a drivability tech and the only real things that looks funny on the
scan data in a much wider pulse width and everyonce in a great while it
sets an 02 out of range code and I got a max rich limit code once as
well. it's usually due to mitigating circumstances like towing,
excesive idiling ect. I have a feeling that this will be like the 134a
freon conversion controversy. In the beginning the SAE guys said
replace everything not they say just drain and refill. the only things
I know that alcohol attacks is aluminum and that still takes a while to
eat up. Brazil has used alcohol in their VW's for decades and the carbs
look like a sandblaster got to the float bowls but other than that I
guess it was a great success. Anyone else here doing what I am
doing????
