    I dont mind ethanol truck runs way better on it anyways. Sure fuel millage takes a hit but id rather have more power than the extra mile or two to the gallon

    Where did you get that idea? More power from diluting with corn alcohol than running pure gasoline?

    From every blown motor in the world. Alcohol while not yielding as much energy as gasoline is more resistant to combustion under heat and pressure. Ever see a monster truck run strait gas because it has a higher energy yield? Nope they run alcohol because even though it takes more volume with boost it works better so like I saidid rather have more ethonal in my fuel. Cuz btw I'm running 11 #'s of boost.

    Energy = Power... No argument with me that alcohol retards the flame... that agrees with what I said previously. The question is fuel economy and power... ethanol reduces BOTH.

    Found a place for 1.99 yesterday, pushed the correct button but the machine picked 2.59/gal instead. Wasn't paying attention and got the expensive gas.
    Less to self, watch the readouts to make sure proper octane selected. I wonder if gas stations are doing that to scam people? First time that ever happened to me. No way I could have pushed the high octane button, it was too far away from my position.

    Then please tell me why I have more power running E85. Sure I have less fuel economy but power is greater. Has to do with ignition timing mmk pumkn.
