Our local supermarket has recently started selling Ethanol fuel - E85. It cost 79.9 cents as opposed to 1.51. I know it's no panacea, just looking to save money. I'm not happy with the use of agricultural products to produce fuel, but can't afford to not save money.
It's supposed to be 30% less efficient than normal fuel.
I've started trying to 'wean' my car onto it and started with 25% e85 75% petrol now 75% E85 25% petrol. Haven't seen any noticeable problems yet and haven't changed anything on car which is a Mitsubishi.
Thought I'd share experience as I'm saving quite a bit of money and also ask for any practical advice. Don't really want to delve into political correctness or it's appropriateness as a transition technology, just wondered if it can screw my car up and also if it's available in other parts of the world?
