Really?
Do any of you know what zero point energy is? With that kind of thinking, it's a wonder that anyone would want to move away from fossil fuels.
Remember this; the guy who designed your car was greedy and inconsiderate. His agenda was and is formulated to make money.
The government taxes oil to get people to use less of it and still make the same or more money from it, annually. Of course they care about fuel efficiency. They tell you that it's good for the environment, but don't hit on any of their other reasoning. They want to sell less of it for more money. They have been and they will continue to.
If you would like to know how to set your carburetor and distributor up to run on e-85, just let me know. It's been done with little or no money, with great success. Your MPG goes down, but the amount of actual fluid/fuel you use becomes insignificant;
The fuel is less efficient, but still pollutes far less than gasoline and is still cheaper to run, even when compared to more efficient fuels, since they pollute and cost more.
The only thing that matters is cost and carbon footprint. Not the amount of fluid used. So, for the time being, until zero point energy is available to the public on a practical level, if you want to spend less money per mile and pollute less per mile, run e-85 and a decent percentage overdrive and a final gear that will allow you to keep your engine running easily in it's power band. Not just as low as you can get your RPM.
