ethonol 85?

I haven't seen anyone offer ethanol 85 yet, so I'm stuck w/ regular gas. Even if it was offered here, I doubt I'd ever use it or switch to it.

if gas prices sink any, e 85 is goin below 2.00

and not to be the bearer of bad news but does anyone remember that less then a decade ago we were paying less then a dollar for gas? not to mention if you have seen con air and you see the gas prices(in the show)... you will break into tears.

Yeah, I was out today and E10 that I use was 2.29 and regular was 2.30 something. Putting 20+ gallons of that in is enough to make me break into tears. Since a week ago it was 2.12.

i wonder, can every car run on e 85, i was thinking about puting some in my escort but i didnt want to screw anything up.

Thats pretty cool but seems like relatively low rpms. Max hp was at 6500 and torque was at 3500. Not too impressive considering your ninja can probably push 2x that. My instructor was saying that the engines in rx-8s can easily handle well over 10,000 rpms.

2.12? I'll be happy.. It's 2.99 (91 oct) 2.85 (87 oct) over here, and probably gonna rise again

for the first time in a long time i saw 1.98 for 91 octane, i think it was in ohio, as i was moving up here.
