Experiments in running E85 ethanol, mixed with regular 87 octane gasoline, in non-flex fuel vehicles (2004 Acura TL and 2007 Saab 9-3.). Wednesday, January 21, 2009. I filled up at Meijer last night. I got 4.008 gallons of E85 at $1.80 a gallon. I got 10.512 gallons of 87 at $1.90 a gallon. My new tank is 26.37% ethanol and 91.57 octane. The last tank finished at 21.5 mpg at 25 mph average speed. The awful weather is reflected in that awful mileage! Links to this post. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. I got 4 ...

The Drunken Swede: A lovely sight
http://drunkenswede.blogspot.com/2009/10/lovely-sight.html
Experiments in running E85 ethanol, mixed with regular 87 octane gasoline, in non-flex fuel vehicles (2004 Acura TL and 2007 Saab 9-3.). Friday, October 2, 2009. E85 is now $1.999 at Meijer. Man, it's nice to see a sign that starts with 1. Gas is cheap, too. $2.24 a gallon. Not much of a spread, though. Glad to see that the spread is getting wider and both prices are getting lower.

The Drunken Swede: February 2009

Experiments in running E85 ethanol, mixed with regular 87 octane gasoline, in non-flex fuel vehicles (2004 Acura TL and 2007 Saab 9-3.). Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Because of the Meijer pump situation, and because I was close, I went to Gas City in Hammond to fill up. E85 was $1.90 a gallon, as was 87 octane. This was about 10 cents a gallon more than Meijer. Such is the cost of conveinance. I bumped up the E85 to 5.020 gallons. I got 8.99 gallons of 87. Links to this post. Monday, February 2, 2009.

Experiments in running E85 ethanol, mixed with regular 87 octane gasoline, in non-flex fuel vehicles (2004 Acura TL and 2007 Saab 9-3.). Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Was I being hard on Ed Wallace? Was he right in taking offense as my characterization of his sources as "Bernie's Garage and Hot Dog Emporium"? I think that that's rather funny. Links to this post. More from Ed Wallace. Woo A little sensitive? Talk to the Lexus engineers. What was the metallurgy of the components that were destroyed by ethanol?
