Default Re: Misc. Ramblings....

Sucks there's some states that are trying to increase fuels to E15. Ethanol is a great race gas but for daily uses it just burns up. I've noticed noticeable increases in mileage using straight gas, versus 10% Ethanol. And E85 is a joke for commercial vehicles. In the Air Force the Department of Energy mandated that any Government Owned Vehicle that can run a "biofuel" must be filled with it when available. So me and my supervisor drove 180 miles in a Dodge 1500 using E85 and got 9mpg! Standard gas would have easily gotten us 15mpg.
