i should be able to keep my current cam then

Brake light shouldn't have constant power. Stereo probably does though. There are several slots in the fuse box you can use too.

Sure. If you have any questions I'm happy to try to help.

Filled it up with 91 for the first time in months. The wife is driving her more and she doesn't need the e85 power.

i should be able to keep my current cam then, I can also throw in a larger battery in the car for some more peace of mind but I drive the car every day as it is

I have this in my wife's car.

Basically a cigarette lighter that will give you your always on power but also implements the voltage cutoff.

I found that I actually spend less on E85 than I do on premium. Gas mileage doesn't vary that much but cost does

My mileage is about 20 with gas, about 14 with e85.

Im about 21 and 26. That's about 20% difference but 91 costs about 40% more

Just did the math with the prices here now. Pretty much a wash. e85 has gone from $1.25 to $2.70 in the last 16 months here.

That's weird as shit. I guess I don't know what it is here now that I don't have immediate access anymore

bought some fuse taps, gonna find one that on 24/7 and wire it to the outlet

dnieves · 04-08-2018, 01:03 AM

Went to dealership bought new wiper inserts and swapped them out in 5 minutes (2 wiper inserts = $19, new OEM SightLine wipers = $20 each).

Then went to NY Int'l Auto Show, BRZ ts was way cooler than the plain Jane Toyota 86. Bullitt Mustang was very cool too, Mazda mastered the color red (strange they had a regular Miata instead of the retractable hard top version, ZR1 is the epitome of American muscle even though it's $120K, can't figure out the differences between a Lexus 300 RCF and a 350 RCF, is it just me or were the LED headlights on sale not seem that bright?

Filled her up with 93 octane. 150km left til I hit 1600km and the car is broken in.
