oldskool Member 144 Member For: 19y 17d Posted 03/08/10 06:35 AM Share Posted 03/08/10 06:35 AM I think it is too expensive, the main reason people will adopt the new technology will be to save $$, not save the environment. People have taken up gas on cars becuase it used to cost about 1/4 of the price of petrol.It cost 30 less than regular petrol $1 a litre vs $1.30 a litre(inflated figures, pertrol in geelong on the cheaper days is now always under $1.20.It burns 15% more and 'motorists should come out ahead'Maybe as more retailers sell it, it will get cheaper but I doubt it.

Looks like its time for new injectors...Unfortunatlly im not to keen on the flux from the ethanol levels varying from 70 - 85%. Dont know how the motor will last when you tune it to e85 and then you get a low level ethanol batch...United doesnt have the 'flux'.More info: VIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
