Thats not cheap! I just filled up in San Jose, $3.059 a gal.
Bought an extra 20gal before the prices creep up

 

look there is clearly only one option here......we must harness the power of magic!

 

i know i never said it was lol

 

Got me ing

I thought we were already doing that with e85?

 

Even if E85 is the SAME price as crappy 91 it's still a good deal @105 oct
Good thing the X is not my daily.

 

Concord is still 3.60 a gal. Filled ALL the way up today

 

the tax is only .49 so it wont go up that much

 

what are the downsides of ethanol in the suby.

Rumors i've heard

1)mileage for regular driving is decreased noticably
2)it is bad to switch back to between gas/ethanol
3)it dirties the motor and decreases longevity?

is any of this true?

 

gas mileage, pump availability, cost,

 

it's great for the engine!

 

is it good for the engine? how so?

how much of a decrease in mileage do you get?

 

Burns much cleaner and has a much higher resistance to detonation.

I went from getting about 230 miles out of a full tank on 91 to getting about 180 or so from a full tank of E85. I do mostly stop and go commuting though. I have got over 200 out of a tank with longer highway trips.

E85 from propel in Oakland is still $3.25 a gallon, just filled up today.

 

Just filled up at the Propel pump on First St. in San Jose and it was alsI $3.25 a gallon. Week ago it was $3.05
Usually I'd get between 180-200 miles per tank. But as of lately my mileage has dropped. Doesn't help that I've been romping on it lol.
This last tank I got 160 miles.
When I tuned for E85 the loss of mileage was never a concern for
me bc I don't commute my car. Have a company truck that I drive daily.

 

It's $0.38 not $0.49

 

Its now selling for $3.399 at the Propel on Montague, thats still cheaper than it was back in Nov
