that means that my bus would go from 23 to nothing then. that's crappy gas
mileage....is E85 even cheap enough to weigh out the difference in mileage?

question for you bus historians>>> As a comment, there is no difference
internally between a flex fuel (ethanol) vs pure gas engine. Ethanol is more
caustic therefore the fuel lines, tank, pump etc must be able to handle it.
There are sensors for as little as $40 that can be integrated into EFI systems
(I won't mention any) that measure the relative amount of Ethanol in the fuel.
THis sensor then presents that indicator to the EFI system which makes
adjustments in the pulse width of the fuel injectors.. Ethanol burns cooler but
you require 40% more fuel per volume of air than gasoline.>> I'm seriously
toying with this Idea for the Fastback right now. Aircooled Engine, E85, Hot
Summer driving. But I'd go from 32MPG hwy to> 19..>>> -----Original

the lights.>>>>----------------------------------------> From: coocoo@xxxxxxx>
