Mostly because I can. There's a pump on my way home from work and it looked lonely. I've become fascinated with the idea of E85.

Without touching off further debate about domestic-produced fuel, net energy/emissions balance, subsidies, and the corn/cellulose issues, I wanted to see for myself what booze would do in my vehicles- how the particularly complex controls of the vtec/vcm Honda engine would react. I wanted to be able to speak from experience- I think ethanol has a bright future; the existing sources/systems may be suboptimal but its a start- both to returning to domestic energy and reducing greenhouse emissions.

I doubt I'll keep the HAH on this mix- I might push to 50% for a bit, note the effects, then return to regular gas. But at least I'll know for myself.

I might keep the Exploder on this diet, though, since it is a disproportionally higher emitter. Tough call, since that is mostly used for short runs, so the benefit may get lost.
