I do the cruise night stuff. Anyone running it on the street? Likes and dislikes? What kind of fuel mileage are you getting?

I used to run it in all my cars when I lived near it, never a problem with it and unless you have a flex fuel car the MPG barely changes in my experiance. Still whenever I coss the country I run it anytime I can find it. I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

What's making the current carb run rich? Maybe we can solve it live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Considering 12 to 1 with E85. I do the cruise night stuff. Anyone running it on the street? Likes and dislikes? What kind of fuel mileage are you getting? When I was running it I was able to get 89% of my best gasoline mileage. I had to drive nice though. 12-1 or higher will work great with E-85. The motor will run about 15-20 degrees cooler and make more hp and torque than on gasoline. The tuning window is alot broader than gasoline, it's alot more forgiving if your tune isn't spot on. Dave
