misteraven Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Feel like merging this into a new thread on inflation. Curious what people are paying for a gallon of milk (regular and organic), a dozen eggs (standard and free range) as well as local prices per pound for NY Strip and Ribeye? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4M* Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 My E85 went up. Was at $2.30. Not bad for summer prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) More or less about the same as it's been for the past 20 years, ever since Bush Jr pissed off the Arabs by invading Iraq. It goes up, it goes down, and it hovers around the same ballpark for the past 20 years. It's hilarious to me how these trumptard rednecks with their tank sized pickup trucks think gas is somehow more expensive now just because they're burning through it faster. 😆 .

In my 30 years of driving, which has taken me all over the country, I only ever seen 87, 89, 93 and diesel. What fucking planet do you live on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T4M* Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Planet Ethanol ⛽️ Over here, anything below 91 has a mix ratio of Ethanol and Gas. 93 is for performance vehicles or bigger engine vehicles (no Ethanol, pure gas, also 91) That's why you see different numbers. @DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Remember yall, the higher the number don't mean it's best for your vehicles. Your fuel injectors can only hawk tuah so much, so know your ratings before your car doesn't talk tuah. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you live in another country? America. Any weird numbers have their own ratio of Ethanol, not available everywhere. Most numbers you recognize will have 10% or less of Ethanol. 15% to 85% of Ethanol is not available everywhere in America, especially E-85. E-85 works with natural aspirated vehicles, cars that are tuners, or any car if you instal a Flex Kit Fuel Injectors. You would think places like LA would have it, since it's nicer for the environment, but they don't, not everyone is in favor of the fuel. In my situation, I'm using it for performance. Fuel sucks in the winter and decreases Fuel economy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get better milage in the winter - running on 92. I believe we have discussed fuel grades not too long ago before. I watched an episode of Engine Master and the entire episode was strictly about running fuels grades on a performance engine and is there really any difference. Pretty good watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Paid under 4$ for the forst time in a long ass time - grocery store we got around here (Safeway) has gas and for every 100$ spent on groceries you get .10c off price per gallon. I got .20c off per gallon the other day and paid 3.89 and I was happy as shit. @T4M* @DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Cali sells 91 at most big name stations. My old Mazda was tuned for E-85/91 mix at one point, that was dope because E-85 is always cheap and complimented the tune well.

I've literally driven through every state, multiple routes through multiple states between Texas and Connecticuit. I've also driven from Seattle Washington to Vancouver Canada, and the only gas octanes I've ever seen are 87, 89 and 93. Yall are lying bots. Where's the real Fat Ralphy? .

misteraven Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Funny thing is that as they diminish octane, they also diminish gas mileage and performance in addition to gumming up engines. Ethanol is a scam perpetuated by how powerful the lobbying group is behind Big Ag and corn growers, which is a massively GMO crop. Reality is that if you're truly concerned about the environment, the two most important factors come down to quality top soil and pollination and has very little to do with carbon emissions. Don't even get me started on the whole cow fart lies. Off topic, but people should really be screaming about how Big Ag is destroying top soil and polluting waterways rather the bullshit they feed you about going vegan to save the earth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndv Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Lol. Seriously though, what is with all the grades!? @T4M* do you ever put 93 in, if so, do you notice a difference? Asking because I tried grades 87, 89, 93 in my accident at the time, and i noticed I got better performance out of the 89 than the 87 and 93.

I have a 08 Charger Hemi and it adds about 35HP+ when tuned correctly. I know nobody wants to listen, but you have to stick to your own fuel grade (or read your manual to see if it can take different grades, and the process on how to tell the ECM about the new fuel. Some cars do it automatically). Newer cars allows you to mess with the ECM in the dash to accept new fuel, those that don't, you have to Tune it , or get a chip to do so. Not putting the right fuel grade will create engine knock, or won't do anything at all, other than waste your money per gallon.
