Gawain 0 #2 May 20, 2004 Before everyone starts running to get in line, check your vehicle manual, not all engines are built to accept a fuel mixture of 85% Ethanol. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

WFFC 1 #3 May 20, 2004 there was a government report about a year ago that said ethanol increased maintenance on engines over the long haul. The corn farmers promptly raised a stink and the report disappeared. Ethanol is bad... edit to add this: Good - http://www.ncga.com/ethanol/main/your_car.htm Looking to see if I can find a 'reputable' link for the bad side... OK...found this one.

Gawain 0 #4 May 20, 2004 I won't call Ethanol bad, but it isn't for everyone. For example, many Ford engines are FFVs (Flexible Fuel Vehicles) and can easily handle the E85. As long as the engine can handle it, and you do normal fluid changes, things will fare okay.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
