Post by: tmc3c on November 16, 2005, 10:30:53 AM
Watch out when buying 105 octane fuel because if you assume it is race fuel you might be in for a SURPRISE:(and then come back next week and buy more before finding out it is FLEX FUEL with ALCOHOL!![xx(]

Thomas:

   What's this "Flex Fuel" thing all about? I didn't know that anybody that was making high octane fuel would use alcohol in the fuel.

Dane,The best I can come up with is that newer cars can run this type of fuel that has alcohol/gas or corn fuel.Newer cars have to be set up to run this gas.Suppose to be cheaper I guess.We need to get Ron in on this,maybe he can come with more info with his background.
