Re: 91 lumina euro w/ methanol option
IIRC, the methanol option is for emissions in California. If I'm right, then I wouldn't consider that an advantage.

Re: 91 lumina euro w/ methanol option
Quote:
Your car is known as a Flexible Fuel Vehicle or FFV. It will run on M85 or regular gas automatically. M85 is 85% Methanol and when you fill up with this fuel a sensor automatically adjusts the fuel control to burn this fuel. You can mix the 2 fuels if you like. Flexible Fuel Vehicles were mostly purchased by Government Fleets to get a lower cost/ mile vehicle. Most Agencies did not renew them when it became replacement time. They still make them but now are called FFV and use E 85 for Ethanol 85%. Ethanol and Methanol produces less noxious emissions than Mogas and regular 87 Octane fuel does. Bob |
