Default Re: How to Blend Your Own Fuel, and Why You Should

Excellent news! Just keep in mind, if you get the same results with E30, as E10, that is actually an improvement! ( if you don't get less MPG feeding your car less gas )

Please check your water temp. if you have a digital display that shows individual degrees. With the precision of a ScanGuage, I found my car ran 3-5 degrees F hotternot colder when using 30% ethanol. If you have a temperature needle, you probably can't meaure such a small amount.

This may be an anomoly, I have a small sample size, but all the "experts" say ethanol makes your car run cooler. -Keep us posted. -John
