As already stated by others the metro is TBI the cherokee is the I6 MPFI
both vehicles run on E10 just fine but they hate it from an FE standpoint.
from a dollars per mile standpoint E0 is CHEAPER than E10 even after throwing away a full gallon of E10 to get E0 (its that massive a FE difference in BOTH vehicles!)
I just switched back to E10. 46mpg down from over 55mpg. Do the math.
I now have 5.7 gallons of REAL E0 ie not washed gas in the car (although I just towed a washing machine home on my little trailer with the metro! yes I have a trailer hitch on my metro)
I also brought home about 17 gallons of E0 and plan to bring home a lot more this coming week as I have to go up their again.
its $2.86 a gallon for the E0 up their and its $2.61 a gallon for E10 down here in Jersey (jersey is cheaper for gas) versus $2.85 a gallon for E10 outside philly for E10
its STILL cheaper to get the $2.86 a gallon E0 over the $2.61 a gallon E10 (and it might not be $2.61 anymore that was last week I will find out monday)
10 gallons of E10 costs me $26.10 in NJ $28.50 in PA
I can go 460-480 miles on that fuel.
10 gallons of E0 would cost me $28.60 and I would be able to go 580 miles or MORE on that.
100 miles further on the same amount of fuel (granted its a metro so huge difference)
Cost per mile I will use the cheaper NJ gas for the comparison.
5.4 cents per mile on E10
4.9 cents per mile on E0
I save half a cent every single mile on E0 even at the higher price.!
around here E85 is "more money" than Regular so I can never ever save anything using E85 except destroying my cars. NONE of my cars will safely run on E85 even the voyager which went from 28mpg on E0 to 19-20mpg on E10.
For the cherokee the cost is 20 gallons of fuel so $52.2 NJ and $57.2 E0 (PLEASE NOTE if E0 was available in NJ it would ALSO be $2.61)
E0 460miles 12.4 cents per mile
E10 340 miles 15.4 cents per mile
saving 3 cents a mile even at the higher price!
for the voyager
E0 560miles 10.2 cents per mile
E10 380miles 13.7 cents per mile
3.5 cents savings per mile on E0
