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

That's cool, John.

I remember you stating that the best bang-for-the-buck was E25 or so, until the mod allowed you to use E85.
I can't remember if you tested with E70, up to E85. I know, mixing it yourself is a hassle.
If you tested E70, or 75 or 80, was there any cost savings, or is E85 just the way to go?

I applaud your continuing efforts in this regard. It's somewhat eye-opening. As long as we can keep the price differential (between gas and ethanol) in balance, It's good for you to be able to use less OIL.
