To be honest it was a *****! But worth it. Bought the 65" wide roll because the 60" roll would have been a little short. I rolled the material over the edges so maybe can prevent that dreaded windshield and side window sagging. Make sure you use the best spray adhesive you can buy. Also I got a tip from a upholstery shop I service the hvac at. Be careful not to pull the old foam off if you don't have to. It might come off in places but you just run some sand paper 120 grit to feather it and once covered DO NOT reinstall it with your fingertips. The flue will be green for several days and it will make a permanent finger dents. Flat handed is the way to go.

Drove it and filled up with corn from a closer new station; has a much better price ($2.699) than the one I usually frequent, which was $3.399 when I looked on GasBuddy.com. Went from 55% to 67% as measured by the Tech 2. Wish I could find an Ethanol PID for my Torque Pro app.

That’s great! I was using them before my tune until Blackbear told me the gas was no good. Happy to see a nice high corn percentage in there..! Man I miss my corn gas….

I tried E85 only once. I filled up the tank several several years ago, and it was cheaper so I tried it. Gas mileage sucked. My family lives in South Bend, Indiana and with a full tank of gas I could get almost 2 hours into Pennsylvania heading home to Maryland. With that tank of E85 I did not even get out of Ohio. Never tried it again.

I enjoy the performance. And the odor, a lot more than 93.. but since I’m in Tx now, you can only find E85 in the big cities. Yes, the mileage sucks for sure.

Yes, if you're looking for range then gas is it. But the price of E85 generally offsets the mpg, with shorter range but more pep and zip.
