E85 fuel...is it a good thing???

[torbs]

how much is toluene by the 5 gallon?

[Guest]

comes to like $5.75/gallon or something like that

[torbs]

k...a little spendy, but not bad...hey 99slowgsx, where do you get 110 for 3.30 a gallon from, cuz that seems like it'd be cheaper just to buy that.

[Guest]

I think the place in W Fargo sells it for that..can't think of the name of the place though....

[torbs]

where about in WF is it?

[Guest]

right off main...damn it, I know someone here know where it is...I can drive right to it but couldn't explain where it is to save my life.

[torbs]

how close to the speedway is it?

Automotive Specialties in west fargo by MC D's, CFN auto sales.

[out there]

just remember, with continued use of leaded fuel, your o2 sensor will die out a lot faster because it will get gunked up

I'm sorry...but i was looking through some old posts and here's what i found...ZOMG!!!

[SPANISH-RICE]

LONG LIVE TEH E85

[SPANISH-RICE]

but that price of 110 is awesome lol!

[slow90gsx]

back in the day,so what do you think will the gas drop to again....3.00 2.80 2.50???...i at all

[SPANISH-RICE]

i think gas will never see sub $3 costs again. no reason for them to lower it that much after were gonna be used to paying it. just like every other year

Loll... dammn 2004

the fuck is the purpose of e85...you burn it faster, it' has more corn so therefore it'll burn quicker than regular fuel. so technically you're spending more $$$ in e85 than regular gas since it's thinner and has more corn.

you're talking out of your ass and disagreeing just to join the band wagon. you obviously know very little about ethanol and E85 production and use.

the fucking purpose of it is that its a RENEWABLE fuel that is almost a zero emissions to burn. yes i said zero emissions, argue with me.

its also 105 octane so you have a much higher potential for making power. retuning a motor to use E85 is very different from BUILDING a motor to run E85 effectivly. if you utilize the fact that it is 105 octane you can make the motor <u>almost</u> as efficient as regular fuel.

and on top of many many other thigns it helps OUR farming economy around here to make it so whats the fucking point not to have E85?! OHH NOES its gets 15% worse gas mileage!! woa is me! its fucking cheaper

[SPANISH-RICE]

given the average gasoline price in the US is $4.07 and the average E85 cost is 3.13 that makes it 23% cheaper.

now everyone knows that it makes 27-29% less energy than gasoline. which is only like a 4% loss in cost effectiveness.

now assume for the fact that average gas is 87 octane and E85 is 105 thats a 20.6% increase in octane. WHICH HIGHER OCTANE CAN HELP MILEAGE. not taking into account the people who already need to run at least 91 octane and are paying an average of $4.48 only makes it make more sense.

combo that with the fact thats its still renewable, clean burning, and HELPING OUR LOCAL ECONOMY there is no reason not to at least support others to use it

[torbs]

The thing is, there is more energy put into making e85 than what is gotten out of it...big money waster as far as the economy in general is concerned...if we could become more efficient at making it then it'd be worth it.
