the E85 fuel is nearly a dollar cheaper than the premium you probably run in ur ss. But yeah Im not a fan of the e85 neither, kills my MPG.

 

That was my point. You're not saving any money if your gas mileage goes down the crapper.

 

I have a 2006 silver Dale Earnhardt Tribute Edition. It does not have the flex fuel badge.
I agree with rickakated10. Looks better without it

 

Exactly! Ethanol is a joke. Just another example of the Federal government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong, and screwing everything up in the process. There was a big article (a cover story, I think) about ethanol in Consumer Reports magazine a while back called "The Ethanol Myth". Ethanol is not an effective solution to reducing our dependence on foreign oil because it does not burn as well as gasoline in your engine, which is why your gas mileage drops when you use it. Plus, farmers have to divert some of the crops that would normally be allocated to regular food production to grow the grain used to produce ethanol, which drives up the cost of food at the supermarket.

A car has to be specifically engineered to use ethanol in its engine, too; not every car can use it. If you try to put E85 in a car that wasn't designed for it, it will gradually ruin your engine.

 

You guys and your N/A cars whining about mileage haha. You realized on a boosted car if you run e85 it can make a pretty darn big difference. Most is rated at 105 Octane, and it is supposed to have a good cooling effect.

 

Do you have any facts to back up that claim?

I don't know anything about turboed or supercharged engines; I've never had one. All I know about ethanol is what I've read, and it's not positive, despite what the government would like us to believe. You need to use more of it to get the same combustion as regular (87 octane) gasoline, so your mileage suffers. How is poor gas mileage a good thing? (especially with gas over $4/gallon these days)

 

it's a higher octane fuel which means better performance, even you for guys that are N/A.

The difference between mileage swapping to E85 still saves you money if you're not on the gas all the time.

 

When you run E85 you can tune more aggressively because it does run like such a high octane rated gas.

Yes the mileage is worse, but it doesn't come from off-shores so yay

 

it comes from Iowa

 

Taking perfectly good 'shine and burning it. My Ozark-American heritage cries. :p

Anyway, my 06 LT with the K motor has no badges. Think it was 07s that got the badges.
