no i don't. my car won't run on it but for my wife we're looking to either buy her a hybrid or e85 car.
there is a gas station by our house that sells it for $1.89 a gallon. 89 octane is running $2.29 right now.
a buddy of mine runs it. he loves it.

sorry to keep talking at you sputnik but i'm bored.
e85 is gaining momentum in the towns near me. more and more signs are popping up.
are you thinking about buying an e85 car? which one?

i'm actually looking into a conversion since i want to keep what i have. minnesota's governor is really getting his act together and getting many gas stations to carry it, as well as figuring out how to get the EPA to approve conversions.
i would've done it already except the EPA considers it illegal right now, which blows :\

if anyone here has played w/a conversion, i'd love to hear about it :)

from what i understood it's extremely difficult to take a regular gas car and convert it to an e85 car.
looked around and found this to back my thinking.
" The differences in fuel injector size, air-fuel ratio, PCM calibrations, material composition of the fuel lines, pumps and tanks are just a few of the components that contribute to making an E85 conversion extremely complex. It is our understanding that at least one company is working to obtain EPA certification. We will monitor the situation closely, understanding the certification process can be time consuming, difficult and expensive. "

i saw that same link kona, but i don't really know how current that is. i've spoken to a lot of people and there are a few after-market kits that are on their way.
maybe brasil's recent 100% conversion to ethanol and minnesota's push will prompt a lot of people to think about this.
i know nothing about these guys but am hoping that this is a sign of possible things to come http://flextek.com/

hmmmMMM???
- k0na_an0k0
i decided not to wear pants anymore. helps me run faster not having pants around my ankles.
and i can do better cartwheels.

i feel the same about bras. they just look better on my head and are surprisingly warm in the winter.
plus the girls can just do their thing w/out the scaffolding.

please tell me 'typing to kona with my girls' cause i would not only approve that message, i would also think that it is awesome.
