Re: E85

I've heard good and bad. they say there is a tradeoff. less gas milage in trade for less cost. but I've heard you lose almost no gas milage on the highway. either way, I'd rather have my gas dollars going to american (and mostly wisconsin) farmers than a buncha ragheads overseas that use that money for weapons to use against us.

Re: E85

My fathers minivan can use it and I figured out that as long as E85 stays .35-.40 a gallon less than regular its worth it to him to use it. But thats at his mpg. Vehicles make more horsepower also when running E85 but they do burn through it quicker. Slightly better for the environment and it supports USA farmers. I get stuff that is 20% ethanol in Oshkosh to do my part. If your vehicle isn't on the list don't run E85! Trust me....

Re: E85

Any Ford with the little Road with a leaf in it can burn alcohol, either ethanol or methanol.

Don't put it in a vehical that isn't intended to burn it though. The Alcohol will eat up all your injector seals, head gaskets, ect. They do make carberator kits if you've got an old 350 or something like that though, I believe you can get them at pakes in Janesville.

Re: E85

Dont worry Ryan. You cant now. We had you added to the terrorist watch list. Parking lots need to be protected by thugs like you.

Re: E85

yeah I love how they have been taking in record profits the last couple years, yet their infrastructure is falling apart. Glad to see those record profits are going towards maintaning their infrastructure and not lining their executive's pockets.

Just start runnin' it, and if you **** up the motor, then that means you cant run it in the future. Nothin to it!
