Not really but I'll tell you this, it sucks. If 10 gallons of E85 got me 100 miles with a few pulls in between I'd be surprised. I have to plan my extended drives around E85 stations..

That's the one thing that sucks about ethanol.

I have been contemplating putting a vendor on mine so I can do the half mile stuff. It would work out just right

Just have the feeling I would be dead shortly after because I would be vboxing that daily

That seems odd. I was seeing a little under 18mpg with 3.10’s and 29 tire at 1:1 on my glide. Skinnies ran 2.73’s and I believe a 28” tire @ 1:1. He cruised form KC to Wichita a few times (3hrs) with his LTD and reported over 20mpg. I get you’ll leave a bunch of gas as the strip, seems odd you done get decent mileage at cruise though. You have it nice and leaned out?

Congrats man! Glad you finally got into the 8's.

You can add a flex fuel sensor and update to the Holley V4 software and get to drive it more.

He said getting on it a couple times. I'm sure it does alright cruising. But if you are making power that stuff gets sucked down in a serious way

Who is out driving and not getting on it?

Oh yeah, I'm aware of how fast it gets sucked down when your on it. Thought it was an interesting article and might help out when you're not on it.

I do on the way to the track... mostly. I'm skeert of the street in my unstable turd.

I believe Skinnies runs a custom made a 30+ gallon tank in the LTD for cruising and adjustable ballast purposes.

No reason for it not to be pretty close to stioch, or perhaps a little leaner if it's still running smoothly at that
