Do you also believe Antarctica has a secret nazi base under the ice?

 

That’s new

 

Nah, conspiracy theories man. So much time was wasted in school with kids arguing about that shit. While i just sat there doing my work

 

Just never heard that one

And Uh huh.

 

Still no... E85 can eat the seals in an engine not built to handle it. (That may or may not be a risk on our trucks, I really don't know for sure so I'm not going to risk it.) And fuel economy would suck so bad that it would never be worth it. I had a FlexFuel F150 and even in a truck built for it Ford says E85 will be 15%+ less efficient then regular gas. In my experience the difference was closer to a 20% loss. In short E85 is not worth it.

 

I dunno dude, I’ve ran it dang near every tank for nearly 100k with no issues.

 

What MPG do you get out of it?

 

Well it would be interesting to try a light mix. Who knows, might help with pinging

 

He said 17mpg

 

Maybe in a boosted engine idk about a stock v6

 

Like 17 on 255’s/ Steelies and a 19 year old driving it.

 

So he might be able to get 20ish out of regular gas... not impossible...

 

That’s with town driving and going up the mountain every tank though too.

 

I dont even get 15...

 

I get about 17mpg on regular and about 15mpg on E10. Mostly in town short drives.

 

What elevation are you at? And I’m confused by E10?

We have 85 87 and 91 I think

 

87 is octane rating. E10, E15, and E85 is a ethnol rating.

 

I just realized maybe he uses 85 octane gas not e85...

 

And I'm around 1k ft elevation.

 

I was just going off what the pump says.

I’m at 5k so maybe that makes a difference, and are we talking about the same thing like sper said
