ok, this is kooky, i know, but i'm curious. has anyone here used E85 (ethanol) in either a modern flexible fuel vehicle, or attempted to use it with their old 70's carborated car? i'm in illinois where E85 is a new big thing and there's talk of removing the taxes on it (to help the farmers, yada yada). it's available at many of my local gas stations and is a lot cheaper than gas. according to my trusted mechanic and my chemist husband, converting my 78 gremlin to a flexible-fuel vehicle won't involve much more than installing larger jets in my carb. my gas milage will go down, but the cost to get from point a to point b will be considerably less. but really, what are the bugs in this system? from what i understand, E85 eats rubber hoses for breakfast and gaskets for dinner. if my car wasn't already a trusty daily driver, i'd just go ahead and do it out of curiousity. pax "I love deadlines.
