It's sad enough that my car drinks more ethyl alcohol than I do, even without E85.

How long before we are FORCED to? With prices going into the stratosphere,
I think it will be sooner rather than later. God forbid the oil conglomerates
cut into their trillion dollar profits and they'll try to act like heroes for saying
they stabilized prices when all they did is decrease the amount of petroleum
in gasoline.

And all ethanol is doing is raising the cost of food. In the long run there is no savings because what you dont spend on your gas tank you will spend on your grocery bill.

Anyone know what the cutoff is with respect to what year's cars can run
without issue on this $h1t? In a year when it's not E85 but E15, are we going
to have to throw our older cars away?

I want to say your owners manual says not to use E15 now ?? I dont have one to reference anymore , maybe someone can confirm ...


Problem with E85 is it take twice as much to produce the same power as gasoline. So for the enthusiast there is no savings .

We have a local gas station supplying E-85 at $3.89 per galloin.
If I were buying a Titan today, I would select the E-85 Version.

So- to the brain trust...
What would be involved in converting over my gas engine to an E-85 version?
