Yes...if they were mixed with 91 and consistent. I've heard from folks that those pumps typically mix the ethanol with regular 87 and can have a big range (notice the "Minimum 70% ethanol" sticker on your pic). Sure, it would be way easier to just pump and go, but mixing isn't really that hard, even easier if you had a flex fuel set-up.

Bummer man, been there, something will come up, but in the mean time, enjoy the free time!

Funny enough, I too have come to a similar realization in the same circumstances. If I were a mechanic, I'd be spending way too much and taking way too long (either not knowing what to do, loosing sockets or fixingy mistakes and/or things I break along the way) lol.

Fat meat fingers didn't help the situation.

Sold my "old" switchback LEDs to my neighbor today. Installed it in his FR-S for him and then gave and installed LED reverse and LP lights for free.

I think a lot of people have things installed tho.

I'm in your camp of thinking it's half the fun.

Looks like I got a couple years to save up. Maybe I'll have enough for even a Supra

I have 3 Supras, one RSX, and a Civic Type R out of the package. Lol. I also have a few 1/18 scale Maisto out of their boxes.
