Midwest | Dan Loehr - 9/27/2023 09:17 Have a 2021 F150 91,000 miles V8 Usually run gasoline 87 octane 10% alcohol we have in our bulk tanks we were out so buying it in town “Caseys” in April and May my truck OK E85 not really cheap here but I ran E85 4 tanks — less MPG but was cheaper about the same $/ mile Went back to 87 octane E10 Truck ran like crap bucked sputtered but about same MPG “19” Took to Ford dealership plugs shot and they adjusted the computer I think $400 Picked it up service tech says how many tanks of E85 you run I told him 4 he said don’t do that I’m a corn farmer what gives Dan
I've got a GM truck I've had for over 10 years and it's flex fuel. I run anything from E10 to E85 in it and have had no issues, no lights, no nothing.
Yes mileage changes a bit as the E content goes up. But with the price difference being so large it's still worth it. E30 has always been a pretty good happy medium. I either get it at a blender pump or mix myself half E10 and half E85 (ish)
Yes my truck manual says for "best performance" to pick one blend and run it a while but that's only for ideal MPG. Not ability for the truck to run well. |
I love Ethanol BUT explain this
