Subject: Re: E-10 Fuel by Mekanic on 2010/8/30 21:10:41 We've had this crap in FL as mandatory for all stations for about a year now. Note, Ethanol is an octane booster, so they use cheaper fuels and the ethanol raises the octane to appropriate levels. It eats seals, has on much of my power equipment. Anything carburated runs like ass on it. I've gotten a 3MPG drop in all my vehicles. Back to back dyno proven drop of 8-10HP. Along with it absorbing moisture, eating fiberglass tanks, and all the other hell it brings. Also, it is added at the tank most of the time, making it very loosely regulated. People have tested gas right out of the pump that was supposed to have a "Maximum 10% ethanol" and found it to range between 4% and almost 60%. I would like it if they would at LEAST make premium un-screwed with. All my vehicles would have it. |
