Although this subject gives me tiredhead, the fuel situation is important to all of us and we need to be informed on plus's and minus. Interesting read on history of E85. _http://www.businessweek.com/autos/content/apr2006/bw20060427_493909.htm?chan= autos_autos+index+page_insight_ (http://www.businessweek.com/autos/c...93909.htm?chan=autos_autos+index+page_insight) As this forum is for the love and talk of Shelby automobiles, some discussions as this relate to our daily life's and the future usage of our cars. Questions like how will our carbureted performance Stang's run on E85. Will this fuel destroy needle and seats in our holley's, how long can it stay in our gas tanks before it becomes gunk or ? Will fuel stabilizers help longevity? What about carbon buildup on the pistons and valves? Will higher octane fuels disappear? I guess only time will tell. Just wish politicians would do a little research before making life changing decisions for us. Russ
Russ & all- Yeah, I recall a few years ago MBTE was the additive of choice but I shuddered every time I had to add a tankful of that crap. Used to drive to the next county to get the good stuff. Then we all found out that not only was the MBTE not good for the cars, it wasn't good for the people breathing it either. Well, as long as there's racetracks, you can be assured that there will be some good fuel around...We just may not want to pay for it.
