IM 100% with you on that one!!! my car was more fun to drive wen it was stock. i could drive it by a cop and not get harassed. drive it daily and not break the bank in fuel costs. i dunno the E85 being cheaper thing. i get it BUT how long will it take for it to pay for itself? thats the final question. if it was say an average of 25 cents less per gallon and costed 1000 bux for the kit installed. thats what 4000 gallons of fuel to pay for it?

It's hard to say until actually get the box on the first car, I am thinking about 20,000 miles at the current prices, which for me is 1 year, considerably quicker for a car running 93 octane, maybe just over a summer for that. Only time will tell. Hell it may be a complete flop but I am confident in my planning so we'll see what happens
