I think age and charging habits play a large role in battery life.

What would your expectations be if you bought an 11 year old cordless drill? Maybe 25% battery capacity would be my expectations

I completely get that. I'm very frugal as well, however a TB is not something I'm willing to guess on, same for all the fluids in a vehicle when I buy it (used). All gets changed and I know what I have and go from there. Honestly $200 is very cheap insurance. Unless I have a dealer or...

I run E10 in my zero turn, snowmobile, antique car, etc when in season. No trouble, but I always do the last 2 tanks of the season with E0 for storage. I used to be on the E0 is a scam boat as well. That was until I opened my Autolite 2150 carb on my 1959 Ford. I had rebuilt it the year prior...

That was the reason I bought a Pentastar.

It still surprises me that Stilantus doesn't make an aluminum replacement. Seems like easy money upselling that. And obviously putting it on their new Pentastars, but we all know why that doesn't happen. Does the Dorman come with that orange cap? Is it all an exact replica of the OE plastic...

Most stations that carry E0 here in northern Maine are about $1 more/gallon. I use it for small engines OPE. As well as for storage of seasonal vehicles/equipment during the off season. I've opened up too many carbs to find water/goo in them. This is a mechanical fuel pump from a GM gasoline...

2020 RAM ProMaster is usually about ½-1 MPG optimistic.

Funny you should say that, this is my first year (1959) Galaxie

It wasn't a V6.... the 1964 (often called a 1964½) mustang was avaliable with anything from a 170ci inline 6 the a HiPo 289ci V8. Of course it would be a Mustang, however I just prefer a V8. And I'm a FWD VW guy!

Didn't I just say that?
