surprise surprise i guess it was not doing worse my fuel gauge (probably the sending unit) is just hinky :-)
FE is still great and rising This time I filled it with 100% washed 92 octane which should mean 88 octane after washing. right up to the neck like last time so its a very accurate fill with car parked in the same spot.
I kept adding fuel till it sat at the top of the neck visibly and did not go down.
55mpg !! grrrr that makes me happy. I should in theory now have under 1% ethanol in the tank I hope I do not think I am letting the fuel decant long enough so I am getting water into the fuel to some extent but it seems to be ok with that so far. though I bet its hurting my FE. at this point the next logical step is the trip to allentown to get some real E0 and "see what happens"
and we are still on winter blend!! I am rather confident I can kill 60mpg in this car on summer E0 zero mods.
Folks do the math here.
take 10 gallons of E10 and I can go 480 miles
If I REMOVE 1 gallon from that ie the gallon of ethanol so I have 9 gallons left and drive on JUST THAT
I can go 495 miles. . . . . . . . . 25 MORE MILES on a gallon LESS gas. 10 gallons of each and the difference is 70 miles MORE on the E0 washed. I cant wait to see what I get on real E0
Does anyone else not see the problem here? and this is with WASHED gas so who knows what else I am doing to ruin the gas in doing this.
Even using a gallon LESS fuel by getting rid of the ethanol I can still go MORE MILES total !! not just per gallon.
Something is seriously wrong with this situation.
