Ethanol?

[Joedolla]

Does anyone use ethanol for race fuel? I think its high octane attributes is all it had going for itself. Corn based ethanol has horrible power output, and is going to cost us all big money! Check this out, It doesn't just apply too food but all corn based ethanol. Better be damn good racing fuel.

Dang ricer kids use ethanol all day long, guess not muscle guys.:893offtop

Sean at CARS just did an ethanol build I think. Maybe he will post up if it isn't secret. And muscle car guys mostly make 500 to the wheels NA on pump gas nowadays...

Methanol has less energy content than Ethanol and Methanol is what a lot of the huge power drag cars run. What's your point here?

Now that I read the article, go price of corn syrup go. If corn syrup prices rise enough pop will go back to using sugar and we'll all be better off and have better tasting pop. This thread sucks.

corn dogs

animal feed

e85, e98 racing fuel

I like corn as a food by itself just not in my pop though. I've got a helluva stock of throwback mountain dew going. I just ran out of Mexican Coke the other day. Time for a trip to Costco this weekend I think.

you guys think sugar based pop is really that much better the hfcs pop?

 

[DarkoStoj]

my camaro will be running e85

fk yeah.

I'll pay more for pop if they start making it out of sugar. I have seen the light.

E85 isn't exactly "high octane" at roughly 94-96 octane (R+M/2). The major benefit is the cooling effect from the amount of fuel required.

E85 AKI is closer to 105...whered you get the 94-96 number? You get the cooling effect because alcohol burns at a lower temp than gas, and has a higher rate of heat absorbtion

Yeah, and your body actually knows how to process real sugar, unlike HFCS.

i pretty sure you body knows how to process HFCS or else you wouldnt be here talking to us.

why are you being a dickbag?

[sardeanie]

Off topic bit HFCS FTL!!!!!! Sugar is the lesser of two evils.

I use Methanol to boost my pump gas.:1syellow1

I didnt really notice much of a difference in either of the throwback versions of dew and pepsi. I actually like the normal versions better
