5.3 vs 6.2 octane

[gooffeyguy]

I would! We have E85 for $1.35, my wife apologized for letting the mileage drop and I said who cares, we can fill the whole truck up for less then forty bucks! That last tank delivered about 10.5 MPG and cost just thirteen cents a mile which is this truck's record low. E85 is good for the motor and injectors, cleans them up.

Didn't have enough fuel on board to run down south yesterday so we refilled a little early with E15 on top of the E85 and still averaged 16 MPG @ 75 MPH. That should bust the thirteen cent record nicely!

If you run a couple tanks of E85, it will get up to full strength and the computer will adapt to it, even the transmission.

Around here, E85 prices haven't dropped as much as the others have.

Currently, E85 is $1.60 and 93 octane is $1.88. I wish E85 was $1.35

It's .83 cents a gallon over in Searcy, Arkansas and $1.19 over in Washington west of you. Ninety cents in La Bell, MO. Dollar or less in Dallas, Texas.

If 93 was that cheap over here, I'd use that! That would give me .10 to .12 cents a mile.

Took on E15 the other day for 1.80 and that will deliver a little over .11 cents a mile for mixed driving, not bad either and breaks my all-time record by 2 cents a gallon.

LaBell is 2.5hrs away and Washington is an hour. I'm sure all the gas prices are cheaper in the more rural areas. Cheapest I've found E85 around here is at a Phillip's 66 about 10 miles away in St. Charles county @$1.55. The Mobile station about 2 miles away is currently $1.69

Damn suburbia!

In NH, 87 is down to $1.99, but 93 is still up around $2.69. We seem to be significantly higher than all of you, and we have no E85 here.

Ha!!!!! Well, it is good to know that there is at least one station in NH. Unfortunately, it is a 1 hr and 35 minute commute from my home.

recommended means you should and required means you have to

they must have bought that shipment at the peak of prices

 

[BG1988]

For a buck thirty a gallon, who cares? LOL

Cents per mile, if the price is right, it pays to burn the stuff. It's also good for the fuel system and the motors love it.

really 87 oct cost more per miles then 91

City:
23MPG $3.099 = 0.134 for 91
18.5MPG = $2.899 = 0.156 for 87



Hyw
31.2MPG (hypermiling "trying hard if I leave early i can take the rural route ") 0.099¢ for 91 octane

barely hypermiling 26MPG = 0.12¢ for 91 octane going 70-90mph
18.5MPG = $2.899 = 0.156¢ for 87 (hypermiling does not work with 87oct as it will run v8 only or 'hyper cycle' the AFM to "death")....


I going to do some Aero mods soon to try and get the 40MPG HYW

it should improve the city to 26-30mpg or so as well.. well do as good or better then a Geo Metro
