I run it in my 40 A, also i have been running it in my 2001 ford windstar. The milage went from 19 on gas to 18 on e85. I cant tell a diffrence when im driving it. As far as im concerned alcohol is one of the ways we can ween our selves off of forigen oil. I would rather give a farmer 20.00 dollar corn then pay Any money to a forigen country. what all of you guys that are against it need to relize is, that they can get aloohol out of just about any biomass. I say lets use the one crop that produces the most gallons per acher and start selling it way way below what gasoline is today. I belive that e85 should be on its own price scale and not just so much off a regular gallon of gas. if a farmer can get 100 bushels of corn per acher that means he could have that corn turned into 280 gallons of alcohol. Plus after there done with the 'mash' they can sell it as a high quality food for anmials. we also should learn a lesson from brazil.... they cleaned up there air by making alcohol 3 dollars a gallon cheeper than gas. over there alcohol is about .80 cents a litre. gasoline is around 1.66 a litre
I know until they offer some other form of alcohol other then corn, i guess corn will have to do. I just feel bad for the farmer that has to feed 7 dollar corn to there cows. but if you are raising your own then you only pay for the increased input cost, which is alot I know. I might just start filling up my barrel up with the e85. if you knock off the minnesota state tax which is around .25 cents a gallon then 85 is almost a full dollar cheeper then gas. We need to reduce our oil comsumption as to where we can get all we need from cananda and the usa. Then i would like to see them other countries EAT their oil. see how much they profit off that!

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
