Re: High Priced Gas Solution!! Don't mean this as a plug, but our new Prius gets just under 60 mpg on the highway (granted, that's at 55 mph with no cargo weight)......about 10% less with e-15. And that's what the mfg recommends...gonna hafta check on that. No-e runs a nickle a gallon more here, but at $4.17 a gal, that nickle is only a 1% increase, so it's still a 9% savings using e-free.
Corn is for flakes!
BTW Volkswagen has SMALL diesel engine that gets amost 80 mpg, is as quiet as a similar sized gas engine, and is lower in all emissions (CO, NO, etc) except particulates. Europe says they are OK there, but VW can't sell them here untill the particulate emission is corrected. huh????
