Are you going to run straight e85 or a 91/e85 mix? And if you are doing either I hope you have some kind of tuning in place to account for the extra fuel needed when you are running maize.

This was my next question if you just mix in a galloon or so to ten gallons, taking it to E20 or something like that I think the fuel trim from the computer will be able to handle it all by itself. I've read elsewhere that modern cars without any extra tuning can handle up to about E50.

Read the labels on the pump and you'll see fuel no a days is up to 35% ethanol anyhow. It's a way to supplement income for the oil companies, force us to buy more fuel and charge for standard fuel costs. Bullshit if you ask me. IIRC 76 is the only station that limits theres to less then 5%. The guys at chevron were telling us that they sometimes send out lods that are around 50% without notfiying anyone.

Most cars can account but with mine I tuned for half n half e and 91 but that was for performance. I think its bullshit cuz the c.a.f.e. standards bullshit forces companies to get cars with certain fuel economy and ethanol makes you use more fuel. I almost want to move. I hear they are doing smog checkpoints now? This state is fucked. Damn communists are ruining this place.

It's on the corner of Raymond and Chapman.

I'm only going to be running 4 gallons of E85 out of 20 gallons total. Last time I mixed it that way I didn't even notice any difference in mileage.

They've been doing that in SD for awhile now. A buddy of mine almost ran into one. He luckily was able to avoid it.

On a side note, 4 gallons of E85 made my truck so much smoother. Very happy now. AFRs are still good and pulls a little better now.

Is it patrolled by cops and stuff? I want to know what statute they are using to illegally stop and search our vehicles without cause.

Either way... E85 will run cleaner so you might be able to pass it even without a cat installed.

It's 100% subjective and voluntary. Dont be afraid to tell them to get fucked, print out the statute and keep it in your glove box for when the time comes.

Lol I'm not afraid to tell them that. I know what they can and can't due from my law classes and stuff. Always try to be somewhat respectful though cuz if not they will waste as much of your time as possible and come up with some bullshit reason as to why they did so to cover their ass.
