if you're so confident that E85 wont hurt anything, ur question wouldn't even exist in the first place.
Now go have a whole tank of E85, or keep doing whatever u're doing for another 10K miles. then come back, alright ?
We'll see who is the n00b by then.

If you read more than I do then why are you telling him e85 will eat the rotor housings? Its not true they are lined with steel. thats a fact. what have you proved, nothing youre just spouting off BS. my question was because I have an open mind. if you proved me worng I would agree but you havent proven anything

i will say it's not smart, our seals are not build for it, our engine is not tuned for it, and out engines are not designed to run it.
on topic, i am now running 87 for daily driving and only 93 for spirited/autocross, no problem so far and saving money. there is increase in mpg.

My 04 does not liek the cheap stuff ican get away with 89 octane if it does not get too hot if it's inthe 93 degrees and up it barely runs so if it's gonna b a cool week i'll use 89 or on highway trips but if it's hot and i'm gonna b in the city alot 93 have not used 87 since i lived in pa and it only ran good below 60 degrees or so

Thanks xsnipersgox for the level headed response. I agree that it is a risk. I dont belive runing 10% ethanol is going to eat a hole in my housings.
I am more scared to run lower octane and deto my engine (miac).

LOL, 8000+ posts and still not a single bit of info in any of them. HHHMMMmmm.
Hella quick on telling someone to search, call someone a noob, and other random cockfag tactics. You go boy.
The translation to "Im too lazy to explain" is...." I have no idea why, but someone at the Nopi show said it was bad.
Tests have shown 87 and 89 octane are so close, that its useless to buy 89 octane. I have seen multiple tests done on it, showed to be nearly identical....and many stations only have TWO tanks....87 and 93 but sell 89!

There are people who cannot use 87 but 89 is ok. At least Im one of them. so you can just take your "I have seen multiple test done on it" and shove it back up ur ***.
you might as well just delete your post, it didnt answer anything anyway.

[QUOTE=C Ya L8r;2561896]Sorry but I never said its ok to fill up with e85. Its only ok to mix to 10%. federal law states the dealers must warranty your car up to 10%.

I was talking about E85 the whole time.
I guess we are having some mis-understanding here.
Cool? are we ?

NYCGPS- If you have nothing important to say, its probably best not to say anything at all. The engine will run on 100% ethanol as long as the proper measures have been taken. It will not damage the housings if e85 simply touches the housing.

I think thats the case (I have heard they mix the two). I know a guy that tests the octane at all the stations here locally, and he said 89 octane is a joke. He said they have to be within so many points to be legal, and 89 octane can actually be lower. He said in alot of stations he tests, they are exactly the same. (could be an exaggeration, who knows) How they do it in other states, I dunno. They can be of a certain percentage, and cannot contain more than a certain percentage of water. They add alcohol to absorb water.

the more things change
i've been using 89 for the last month. i developed car trouble
that i believe is fixed, so i'm going back to the cheap stuff.
like i said i've been using it for actually over 4 years
in my car, and i have had no major problems.
if your planning on keeping the car for longer then
that put the good stuff in and be happy.
when i hit year five i'm buying another car anyway.

i have yet to see you post a useful link or give any helpful or accurate advice.
so far all i see you do is tell us how smart you are and run to a new thread.
how about you do your little chrome project then get back to it when it has 50k miles on it.
an please dont advise on a rennisis, as you clearly have not read enough to post on it..
beers

NYCGPS- I never claimed it to be a renesis housing, people wanted to see a replated housing, so I showed it. If you cant figure that out, I cant help ya. And it sounds like YOU are the know it all, but cant seem to post any proof.

I rode in one replated a little over 50K ago, runs perfect. This is a different thread, nothing to do with plating. Its over your head bro, I have been working with plating for many years now, I know how it works.

He shouldn't have to do the experiment. He made an attempt at getting outside information and provided reasonable arguments to dispute your claims. You obviously have documented data to the contrary. How about sharing it with us?
