High on Ethanol
Just Ain't Care
Is that a E98 ethanol blend or something? $47 for 5 gallons!?! holy crap, that's a rip off. You can buy 100% ethanol at regular gas stations in my state. The going price at the pump is about $2.00. You're paying the big bucks on 100 octane pure gasoline because it still has all the BTUs of energy that gas has. When you blend with ethanol you are losing 20-25% of that energy (recoverable with timing and such). So you either blend light (under 20% ethanol) or you tune for ethanol and pump more fuel to make up for the lost energy.
Name 5 states that have 5 stations that sell e100
