Every owners manual I've ever seen for a flex-fuel car says not to use any fuel additives with E85, only use them with regular unleaded. I'm sure that the additives are designed to dissolve into a petroleum product, not alcohol.

Looks like a Warren Oil bottle. (As in Warren/Coastal/Unilube)

I run SuperTech syn 5w30 in mine.

Everybody focuses on how many dollars difference there is between regular and premium over time, but that's a false comparison. The chart above shows that in 1994 the difference was $.20 and in 2023 it was $.91. The national avg price per gallon for regular was $1.11 in 1994, so premium was...

I'm in the "run it" crowd. Those highway miles are the easiest duty there is.

Once I filled up my old beater Volvo with open quarts of whatever we found in my friend's deceased father's garage. IIRC it was some Citgo, some Mobil Super, some Quaker State, and probably some Formula Shell I had laying around. Ran it for a full 5,000 miles. It was pretty uneventful. Was a...

Truck is a good idea for limited passengers. My kid drives a Ranger that is the same year as him lol. Careful though... Kids can cram in. I fit 9 people and 2 half kegs in my Chevette one time when I was in college.

I believe the maximum distance you may transport untreated wood in NY is currently 50 miles.

I started out as a black coffee drinker. I tell people that I like my coffee pure, like me. lol

I recently had a key made for my Kia at a local Ace Hardware store. They quoted me $90 for the key and programing the chip to the car. They dropped the price to $45 when I explained that my keys don't have a chip, so no programming necessary. They claimed they couldn't go lower than $45...

The Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop I am involved with are funded primarily by donated bottle and cans. We do have some trouble with theft from the donation bin, but it's minimal. Repealing the bottle act would certainly solve our minor theft problem. But then we would have bigger problems...

If it sounds too good to be true....

Here on the border we see quite a few Canadian cars in the used market. They were easier to spot back in the days then the speedos were hard set to metric or English readout. Now that most cars can switch back and forth, there's virtually no difference.

That sort of funny... Kirkland doesn't manufacture motor oil or garbage bags, it's the just private label that the manufacturers slap on the products that Costco contracted with them to supply. Also, there is a good chance that Exxon-Mobil supplied the polyethylene to the bag manufacturer...

We only have two, maybe three stations in my city that sell E85. I fill my truck a few times per year. I try to have at least a 50/50 mix of E85/regular when I tow my boat to the cottage in the spring, runs and tows really nicely. Too bad I can't find E85 near the cottage for towing home in...

Boy, you don't see many Amphicars out on the roads anymore.

Worn anti-sway bar links?

So the benzene and other alphabet soup words are the actual components of gasoline. In other words, the guy wants you to believe that your small engine isn't designed for gasoline and you need to buy his can of magic unicorn tears.

Isuzu sold rebadged S10's and Colorado/Canyons for years. Same sort of arrangement?

I change my own oil, so the date and mileage at the time of service is written on my garage wall in sharpie. Same for tire rotations.
