I have been running an e30 blend in my OZ tuned ranger for about a year now. Makes almost 50 more bhp on e30 vs 93. The truck feels slow when I fill up on with 93 (e10) anymore! The e30 blend really cleans up the knock correction on the logs. I like to refer to it as redneck race fuel

Tomato soup brain is really trying to sell this as him doing "something useful" when in all actuality, between the $0.05 lower cost and .5mpg reduction you probably wont notice much of anything.

I don't know how common E15 is nationwide, but it's so rare here in NC that I have yet to see it - I'm not looking or it anyway so that could be the reason. The Sheetz convenience store chain (newcomers out of Pennsylvania) carries E15 and advertises it as a 'high performance fuel'.

No Sheetz close to me and they can keep their 'high performance fuel'. No doubt some people will fall for the nonsense. Buc-ee's out of Texas is starting to make their presence known in the region - they advertise E0 motor fuels. Wondering when we'll see one...

Pass one every day. Best darn restrooms. There is always someone in there cleaning. I mean each stall is like a tile man cave. Good coffee. Good brisket. Got gas once there because I was with a group but I normally only use shell premium.

And to confirm, no new fuel lines or hpfp correct? Sounds like fun. I'm adding a roll cage so I'll need more power with the added weight.

Nothing changed on the fuel system, all stock. I've debated going full e85, but that would require a new fuel pump and a tune update. E30 is about the limit of what the stock system can handle.

Corn belongs in whiskey and movie theaters.
NOT
IN
MY
GAS
TANK.

With the Ukraine (Europe's largest farm land and bread basket) getting upended, The Great Potato has no business dictating CORN into our gas tanks when is should go to the mouths of people that are starving.

It is common for race cars, tuned for alcohol, to perform better than gasoline powered cars.
Not so common to see 200000 miles on one.

Yeah, but it's not beat to s*** and runs on moonshine for fuel!

That's the cold air intake (driver's side headlight door )

So I'll save 10-cents at the pump, but lose 20-cents in lost mileage.

Thanks, Joe!
