1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

the photos from the news article showed lines of cars going down the block waiting to get it, definitely not all Flex Fuel cars.

Gonna be some mechanics getting some business to drain tanks and purge fuel rails

 

Up to 30 minutes wait? That's not very long for the savings involved lol

 

it was all a scheme by Big Mechanic

 

Yep!

That's it; Sanger is where my in-laws live which is about 15mins from our house.

Think I told you about it when you were here?

 

yeah I remember seeing the article come up that same day too on my phone, I can only hope that most of those folks didn't realize what e85 was and were smart enough to see the warning on the pump handle before actually putting it into their tanks

 

There were younger (more naive) people posting "where's this cheap gas I keep hearing about"

 

Do you guys remember me posting about running into a black SAS 1st Gen? I had gone snow wheeling and ran into him when I was airing up.

Just saw he posted it up for sale.

 

e85 is short for economic 85

 

the thread on TW here is a little worrying with people saying you can run it in your Tacoma. I think the recent talk about e15 blend is confusing people

 

Is the 3rd gen flex fuel compatable?

 

Nope

 

It can run up to E15, you can actually load an e85 tune on it, but it has no flex fuel sensor so it cannot adjust for ethanol content on its own

 

If e15 if good e85 must be better because it has 70 more e's

A lot of rental cars are 85 capable.

You'll see a ton of them including Grand Caravans and Malibus or Impalas with the flex fuel badge.

 

I don't know much about them other than they are cleaner burning emissions-wise, but isn't mileage way worse with e85? Seem to remember people with Flex Fuel cars saying the mileage sucks. I would rather own a hybrid

 

It does burn cleaner but yes it absolutely does get worse mileage.

Running a custom tune on a turbo car tuned for E85 or E30 well... you'll get all the zoomiez.

 

Just installed some maxtrac lift shackles right now and was unsure of the proper torque spec. Anybody know? The maxtrac website doesn’t say.
