New gas station near me had it and I put in less than half a tank to test it out.

Reset all the parameters to get an idea of mpg over the next week.

Send prayers.

MPG will go down considerably. Power will go up. I’ve looked into converting my weekend car to run it. Can get to over 800whp easily but my fuel economy will cut in half to around 6mpg which just doesn’t work for me since there’s only a few stations with it in my area.

How little do you drive that half a tank lasts you a whole week?

congrats on putting tow truck drivers daughter through college and the near future replacement of every single component in you vehicle that gas runs through from tank to engine.

PAS you will most likely burn out you valves in the heads as well.

but hey, you will save money buying e85 as your gas mileage drops 40% lower to burn up all those savings while you lose engine power and torque

e85 was designed to destroy engines and it does that very well
