The hybrids don't run on it right? As for the gas station, I don't know if I'd go out of my way. Of course, it's all about location. It's a good marketing ploy.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!

Andy9o8 2 #4 January 25, 2007 I note that this is in Omaha. I think there's a psychological reason for this. To a dyslexic, "Omaha" might look like "Ohama". "Ohama" looks and sounds a lot like "Osama", a name associated with terrorism. So Omahans are doing this to compensate for subconscious feelings of insecurity caused by having a city name that reminds them of terrorism. Pretty sharp, eh? By the way, I know it also looks like "Obama", but what can I say? -- some things just defy logical explanation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not 'supposed' to, but a university in Texas ran a Prius on E85 for 20,000 miles with no problems. It _is_ rated to use E10. I'm mixing it to get E50, which I figure is a good compromise. Car runs fine. Mileage goes down a bit but power goes up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #6 January 26, 2007 You drive all the way out to El Cajon for that? No E85 retailers closer in "metro" San Diego County?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!
