I am going to run it in my 5.0 to see what kind of power improvements it has. Might be nice when I am towing my boat!

I read about the newest thing to come out of DC. There is talk of a new Butyl-Ethanol (16%) that will burn as efficient as E10 (and about the same mileage results) without the negative aspects of corrosion, contamination, etc.

There is a one page article in the latest Motor Trend magazine.

The only place I've found E85 is about 21 miles from my home on the drive to work. It was $3.15/gal. this morning and E10 was $3.45/gallon.

I seen the option, while filling-up w/ E-85 for $3.05, of e-20 for $3.10 and E25or E30, I forgot which, at $3.15. I will go with those next time since more ethenal seems to equal less MPG. Seems E-20 is the best bargain!
