@Allch Chcar I added 2.2 gallons of E85 to my tank which had about 8 gallons in it today, bringing the ethanol fraction up to ~27%. Noticable decrease in knock from normal 87! On 87 octane E10 it knocks (I hear an unhealthy hammering sound anyway) if I give it heavy throttle at 1400rpm, on E20 it doesn't do that until about 1100, and on E27 I can step on it at 800rpm and the engine doesn't groan at all. Fueling requirement goes up 5%? I should measure the AFRs sometime to see if boosting the ethanol concentration throws off the ECU so it boosts the AFR a little in open loop. I think stock it runs 12.5 at the top end, 13:1 would make more power.
I paid 3.15 a gallon or something vs. 3.75 for normal gas, so I lost like 50 cents total from the higher cost but that's cheaper than paying an extra 2.5 dollars for filling the whole tank with 91. |

If anyone wants tires on the cheap I can get them out to anyone from my Point of Contact at Discount Tire I have been dealing with for years (I also have a Tire rack whole sale account and for tires DTD is usually cheaper).
Let me know

I'm impressed by the composure of the guy who was cuffed. I would have been livid and probably pressed charges after being wrongfully incarcerated. That's probably the worst example of police racism I've seen in a long time Nick C.

Have you ever wondered how the corproate world ever came to be and why do we look down upon artists, scientists and educators?

Hmm... Looks like the Hankooks might be a better choice than the Dunlops. Choices choices...

You are no longer a commuter if you do not go for the gap
