Re: Alcohol in gasoline (spin-off from pulsing engine)

Ray is correct, one of the Mopar magazine did some in depth research and found out that their engine made more power with the E-85. It will eat rubber, 10% isn't suppose to effect any of the old fueling systems. It will cost me about $285.00 to covert my '04 Ram to Flex-fuel compatible. Guys, fortunately or unfortunately, it is the coming thing. So if you are rebuilding your fuel systems, put stainless lines in,, and replace rubber gasket in the system. 

Even though Ray got about the same mileage there is a fuel mileage penlaty.

Subject: Alcohol in gasoline (spin-off from pulsing engine)

I'm always entertained to see the alcohol in fuel debate occur. See, back in
the 80's up here in Manitoba, a little-known gas station started popping up
all over selling "gasohol". Gasoline with 10% ethanol. They told us that it
would give us better fuel mileage, run cleaner, and leave our engines
cleaner. I don't think that I really paid them much attention.
