Re: 50/50 E-85 and 92 octane

Gas was like 2.59, and E85 was 2.10 out by my house. I've never compared milage. Someday I'll compare it and see the difference. I know many will say I'm wasting money, and going to destroy the car, but I tend to do my own thing when it comes to my cars.

I listen to what everyone says, but in the end I just decide for myself, and most of the time it's against popular opinion (ie: homemade everything on my talon to save money even though it took me forever to build, Maaco paint job, mixing E85, using an ebay fmic, run Mahle Pistons even though they have shorter skirts and people who've never used them say they aren't going to last as long, etc.)

Someday I'll measure my milage difference I see in my car and see what my real world results are, instead of calculating what it "should be" because some engineer out there decided that's the number that will perfectly calculate the difference in milage for every application.
