E-85 vs. Unleaded Break-even

Re: E-85 vs. Unleaded Break-even

Heck, my father-in-law swears up and down that high-powered magnets can run engines if set-up properly...I think he's nuts...

Go Jacks!!

I have the same problem with my father-in-law. Although we've never talked about magnetic engines...

Just wanting to make sure everyone knows that my previous post was in jest.

I guess if I have to explain that, it wasn't very "jestful."

Just use a "smiley" next time, it works great!

I personally believe you can say anything to anyone as long as you smile while saying it

I thought it was so obvious that it didn't need a smiley.

Mine was meant to be in jest of what I perceived to be your jest but perhaps I wasn't jestful enough in my jestiness. Is anyone offended? I hope so.

Only by the lack of "smilies" in your jests...

One thing you didnt figure into the math is cost related to maintenance of your engine. e85 doesn't have the lubrication qualities of unleaded regular and the alcohol in it will tend to dissolve the rubber parts of you engine faster. plus it is not made to run in boats, wave runners, and the like. Me, I run a diesel. 15to 17 city 18-23 highway. 11-13 towing

I don't think propar's flex-fuel engine is -that- flexible.

And how many of the posters here are grads from the 4 fine engineering programs at State for whom this is the math that we do each day?

Letters and equations = constant :P

Oh I am! Still have my Advanced Engineering Math book. Sitting in my office right now.

Diesel for me as well, similar mileage to SturgisJeff. I pull a 36 foot 10,000 lb trailer and won't be without a Chevy diesel until the trailer is gone. I've got friends who "chipped" up and get a little better mileage than that. I've been thinking about it.
