Opened the sunroof. Took some coaxing but it finally opened lol

 

Brushed all the snow off

 

Found this stuff on the screen in the oil pickup tube hehehe

 

Changed the oil. Changed out the bad ic pump and installed my option b tank. Good day

 

A friend told me that we have 1 station in EP that sells e85 i would need a tune but would like to try some out sooner or later

 

there is one station 20 miles from my house, but its in a direction that I never travel and is totally opposite direction of my 30mile commute to work.v

 

Lol its the same for me its pretty far and im never on that area of town but i ever want some i know i can get some i would just need to take a tank to put alot for awhile either way i have 2 pcm so i could do it

 

I was thinking about doing something similar to that, if I ever get this damn car back on the ground. I took a big bite of reality when I actually starting realizing how much its gonna cost me to finish someone elses blown up project. I just hope its worth it, and that everything runs right when I hit that key for the first time.

 

Hopefully man. im sure its going to be worth it once your done

 

There used to be like 3 stations in LC but now there is only one ghetto Valero in the middle of town. I don't want to swap to E85 if they are just going to stop carrying it at some point.

 

Lol yeah i was told its a valero gas station i shoukd look aroubd maybe ill find another one closer to my house. And i can change to e85 the only thing is getting a new tune on the other pcm

 

E85 Prices ť Texas ť El Paso

 

I got two stations from the page one might be pretty close to my house so ill have to go check it out

 

Yup did a quick search and its like 10 miles away from my house a 15 min drive according to google interesting now do i wanna get a retune and go all the way to LC

 

Is it worth the power? Could be something to do on your day off.

 

Im sure it be worth the power lol but for a car that gets driven like 50+ miles a days idk if its worth it

 

My only thing is that E85 is NOT that much cheaper than gas is now. Even the Shell 91 I use isn't that much more.

 

I was told it was 1.75 for e85. Atm 91 is 2.19

 

But e85 is a hell of a lot cheaper than 100 octane

 

I wouldnt doubt its but all we have here is 91 lol

 

I did the math not horribly long ago when gas was a lot more. Basically, on my car specifically:


Gas = 420 miles on a 12 gallon tank(It's 12.9 but don't care.)
Ethanol = 360 miles on the same 12 gallons. That means I need 14 gallons of Ethanol to go the same distance as 12 gallons of Gas.

When E85 was $2, and Gas was $3, it was a big deal. $28 to go 420 miles on Ethanol, and $36 for Gas. I would get more power and still save money. That's fantastic.

Now, however, Ethanol costs $26.60 to go 420 miles and Gas costs $26.28. At one point before the strikes I filled up with 12 gallons of 91oct for $24. If gas prices continue to drop ethanol will be worth it less and less to me, but I am NA. I'm sure on a boosted car it makes a way bigger difference.

 

There is a gas station by my work that has real 93 octane 100% gasoline no ethanol. I know it's not e85 but must count for something lol

 

Looks like alot of math lol and well maybe you should reconsider now that your planning on going SC

 

Maybe. We'll see how trashed this guy's blower is. If it is too bad I'll just wait and maybe do Solstice gauges instead.

 

Lol well hopefully is in good condition. Once your on boost you cant go back
