Re: Oil prices lowest in almost 2 years.

Haha, nice! I think I will start taking pictures of my tach though. I mean obviously there are a ton of variables, like hwy driving, warming up the car in the morning sometimes, driving habits. This last tank I got 300 on regular, and I'm not on more of a 40/60 e85/87 mix (didn't quite get it right at the pump, oh well), and so far I have 110 miles on the car, and it's looking like it's on path to be right around the same again.

And yes, I've read about the "damage" it causes, and people tearing down their motors aren't seeing any. Seems that was blown quite a bit out of proportion. But, hey it's my car, and I will do what I want. If my fuel lines one day all break into little pieces, well then you're right, and I'll be f-ed. But from what I've been researching, it seems that whole damage thing was blown a bit out of proportion.

And for anyone else who cares, this is a non-FFV 2001 Galant with the 4G64. And my Talon will be running 100% E85 from now on.
