k, sure thing.....

 

After surfing around through some different threads in a few different places, seems like the general concensus is that the ethanol blend has been responsible for poor gas mileage and more frequent repairs to fuel systems.... I am gonna go with what the majority of people are saying and my own personal experiences and say that I would prefer to not use the ethanol blend.

I dont care what snarky remarks are made with the illusion you know what you are talking about.... I stoped trusting your judgement a LONG time ago...

 

I would say +rep for Rachel.

But I have to spread it around first lol

 

Thanks love

 

I would rather get shit for gas mileage than drive a piece of shit any day

 

the repairs to fuel systems have been due to the alcohol cleaning out the other crap that was already there and it getting stuck in the fuel system. did you read that too?

 

yes as a matter of fact. Why speed up the process... If it is going to happen it is going to happen and I am fully aware of that. That is why I make it a point to take care of the car that I have and make sure to minimize the risk of there being junk in there in the first place.

 

Right, and not because alcohol is a solvent, and will destroy almost anything not made to be used with alcohol.

Such as rubber o-rings, fuel injectors, intake manifold gaskets, etc, etc.

Right after getting a tank of Hess after they did the switch and I didn't think about it, I got the privilege of replacing all my injector o-rings on my daily driver, since after about half the tank was used, my #1 and #3 injectors started pissing fuel down the back of the block.

 

define "right after" .even though alcohol is a solvent its not gonna work that fast. they were messed up to begin with and would have failed soon anyway. alcohol might not have had anything to do with it. but if it did its not 100% to blame. most rubbers that are designed to withstand gasoline will withstand alcohol just the same. not to mention alcohol has been used in our gasoline for like 20 years. maybe before the labeling was mandated, maybe not. i dont know for sure, but i know i have have been using nothing but E10 for over a year (3 separate cars) and have experianced no problems. my gas milage may have dropped a lil but if it did i have not noticed and i watch my milage very closely. i was even able to get 42 mpg out of a stock civic during that time period.

 

so you read about it online, that makes you an expert. i measured my milage before the E10 switch and after, thats actual mesurements, not what i read online. as far as you going "with what the majority of people are saying"....who are these people? do you even know if they are qualified? no you dont. you listen to posts on websites full of ricers and teenage morons and expect them to know what they are talking about?
