Just a short story about my experience with ethenol. When I used to
live in Illinois (big ethanol state) we had a couple of demonstration
cars that could run up to 85% ethanol. After a couple of weeks of
driving them they got the nickname "the rocket". They were just normal
luminas that had been changed to run ethanol and man could those cars
run. If anyone has ever drivin a car like one of those than they know
what im talking about.

doesn,t the owners manual say something about running blended
fuels(unlike
whiskies!) now I gotrta go out to the parking lot to the truck to look
in
the owners manual, Maybe it says ethanol is ok but somewhere it says
summin
about it. BTW when I had a company truck (Ford deRanger V6) it ran
crappy
on it. We got a couple of stations (Racetrack) that sell it. -91 cents
gallon.
