Damn, good meet guys.

Going home tonight was the first time I've driven the car at nigth, with the
clear headlight housing. And wow! What a difference they make.


Kenny it was cool meeting you and talking tech.
Good seeing Delgado too, haha.



mmm, smell the corn fuel, right Diego?
:lol:

It smells alright, but I think I will be going back to 93oct. E85 is way overprice and there is no need to use it on the streets.
I will at the track for sure because it kicks ass.!!!!

LOL!!! i pass i hate been on camera :oops:

Just a little side note:

93 oct gives me about 22mpg at $4.30 = 5cnts per mile
e85 gives me 16mpg at $3.79 = 4cnts per mile

:shocked: now that i did the actual math it doesn't look all that bad :?

Everybody is free to do what they want to do.
I won't try to convince anybody here that they have to "use this" or "do this".


With that being said, I did not buy a DSM for gas mileage.
That's what my other car is "supposed" to be. Unfortunately, I ended up
with a 6cyl, gas guzzling POS. But that's my problem,
one which I hope to rectify soon enough.



I personally love E85 and I'm staying with it, love the way power comes in and
NO knock. (<-To be brief about it)

I've gotsta say, I've done the math also & just can't see any justification for street driving.... no knock is an obvious plus, but what do you mean by 'the way power comes in'?

^What math doesn't add up?


Also, the power comes in more cleanly and crisp.
On gas my car felt as if, it had a little bit of a lag to it. The car just
wants to go, on and off the boost. In boost, it doesn't knock, I have to turn
the timing down because it just keeps pulling. The engine just feels more alive.


Also, again if any of you guys feel like, you need that extra 3+ mpg, that's fine.
There's nothing anybody can tell me to make me stop using this stuff.
I'm going on two months now and I've just been informed of possibly another
E85 station.

In my case is almost 6mpg. And that isi over 30% less than what I was getting.
i will give it one more chance. But the dsm is my only car and I can live with 370hp that I was making on 93oct.
I will still use it e85 on the track
