xero287 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 No, not true. Some don't actually advertise it and thus don't do it. I've observed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDawg Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 hmm maybe i'll see if i can find a shell around here and see if i get better mpg's off it. Sunocos are so more prevalent around here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie_sheen Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 its like i try to weigh out the fact that i could have so much more power, with the thought of cruising around with my gas light on praying for a one in a million shot that the next street i turn down has a magical e85 pump.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted October 16, 2011 I Donated Share Posted October 16, 2011 Just get a netbook for the car and load on a 93 map when you can't find E85... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 But then you have to leave a Netbook in the car all the time...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted October 17, 2011 I Donated Share Posted October 17, 2011 I hope you have a SSD drive in that then with all of these potholes. Meh, the heads are parked when it's off, anyway, so it would take a lot of shock for damage to occur. The only time hard drive damage could happen is when I'm actively logging. But I have no important data on it, and it's under warranty for the next year and 3/4 (yay for enterprise-class netbooks!), and even if it wasn't, a new hard drive is cheap. Also, Baltimore suburbs are a lot better than DC in terms of potholes. I had a HUGE problem with potholes when I lived in Boston, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatherWarrior Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Not that I need it, but did have a caravan that was suppose to use E-85 and couldn't find ANY stations in Montgomery County with it except the place off Crabbs Branch that was actually the County vehicle facility. You had to sign up with a special "permission slip". They operated the price weird, and often was outrageously expensive (they didn't have the means to change the price, and the gas was generally dropping when I used it). About two years ago, they opened up a few Washingtonian Express (W Express) stations that had them in central and northern Montgomery (I didn't check southern Montgomery County). Price was always cheaper than 87 octane...sometimes significantly. In fact cheap enough it would have made up for the loss in MPGs. I never put it in the Subie though...not good. As far as stations, the only one I've avoided is Freestate...which was the only one consistantly had a noticeable affect on my vehicles (or rentals...where I didn't care). I've used most every brand. About the only thing I will say is never buy gas in Nebraska and South Dakota....they don't have 87 oct...only 85 at many stations....and that'll foul the engine up pretty good (it's also E10 if I remember right). But locally, If you are really concerned, just stick with the main brands...and put some additive cleaners and have your engine taken care of often. Gas usually isn't the issue, beyond driving a car hard or soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
