at least y'all get 93 out there... were stuck with 91... Also I just started premixing which has killed my economy but made the engine run allot smoother, not sure what I should do about that.
|
What and how much are you premixing?
|
Well...I was refering to WI when I said Shell 93 does not have ethonol....it says in BIG LETTER - 100% Gasoline for 93, and upto 10% ethenol for 87,91
Sorry to hear you guys dont get it your areas, but I assume we wont have it for long either. ManPigBear? lol that is funny! |

What it should be and how it is referenced in South Park are two different things. I refrenced South Park since it makes it even funnier.

I do the same thing but I premix with 2 stroke oil from west marine. Buy a giant jug and refill the small bottles so when I'm gassing up, I can just dump one. It's more complicated in NJ because we're not supposed to pump our own gas. I do anyway about 1/2 the time though

Huh? You can't even pump your own gas? What kind of crazyness is this. The only fuel we can't pump is race fuel and that because it's illegal to put in a street car, ofcourse everyone does any way though.
|
Sounds like just another excuse to dig into your pockets to me. Tell you what though go ahead and spill a bit of fuel on my paint and see what happens. I suppose they have laws for that as well.

The prices in NJ are one of the cheapest in the country. I'm still paying $1.99 for premium. Plus, if you really want to pump your own gas, it's not like the attendant is gonna complain or anything..... |
Ah so its not law just a courtsey well that's cool I guess. Fuel here is not much more expensive here 2.05 but its ethanol free so we'll see who goes further on 100 dollers of gas
|
No, no.. it is law. They just don't care all that much. They'll do their job, but if you volunteer to do it, they'll let you
|
threadjack? I'm paying $2.39
anyways when you average it out I put in 7 oz's of MMO.. I noticed an immediate decrease in MPG I was sitting at 20/23 now I'm 18/20 its very strange(this I have measured over a few month's and averaged out the MPG's) however I know that the engine likes it so I'm happy to oblige. |

OK, 4 tanks of Shell nitrogen-enriched 87 compared with 4 tanks of Hess 87:
Shell: 895 miles / 50.7 gal = 17.7 mpg Hess: 1080 miles / 54.4 gal = 19.8 mpg I tried to drive my usual spirited style on both, red-lining 4-5 times on my commute, etc. |
I hate ethanol. It caused my Mazda 6 to overheat and the Transmission overheated as well. It made the car run like crap and felt slower than a 1983 honda civic.

BP is ethanol free?
I might have to switch brands... Too bad theres no BP near me |
I had worse gas mileage when it first came out and switched to chevron. But, I've since switched back mostly because of price.
I'm happy to report that for some reason I'm getting about the same gas mileage as the old formula now. I have no idea why. |
