[easternpiro1]

hey whats up guys? in light of the recent tragedies with hurricane katrina (my condolensces to anyone affected by it) and in light of everyone in the south east GRABING THEIR ANKLES paying for gas...i was wondering something...there was a news report about a couple of stations adding ethanol to the gas...its supposedly cleaner and way more efficient, they also "claim" that it is safe to use in most engines in cars newer than 1982...does anyone know for sure if we can use this for the 6gc? im tired of getting raped by the price gougers....

just want to be prepared for rita...i forsee gas prices going to 5$ a gallon!

any car can run up to 10% ethanol.

to convert a car to a higher ethanol content, you need to change out fuel system parts that are not compatable, and install larger injectors due to the lower air to fuel ratio needed for ethanol.

theyve been using ethanol in pump gas for years dude, most states mandate a certain ammount of ethanol in their gas during the summer time to reduce green house gasses from automobiles... performance wise it isnt as good, but environmentally its much cleaner, and reliability wise in moderation (10% as said) it doesnt do anything.

It just really doesn't like carbon deposits, and will actually clean them out of your engine. Unfortunately, those deposits usually end up stuck somewhere tiny, like the tip of your fuel injector.
