Originally Posted by Skippy722 Did you adjust your speedometer? If not, how far off is it? And no rubbing? I bet they fill the wheel wells real nice! Didn't adjust the speedometer, which registers 56MPH, tho the true speed is 60MPH. Yer right. No rubbing, even when the front wheels are pointed...

Originally Posted by WobblyElvis Doing the math, E15 has %95 of the energy that straight gasoline has so on the highway you might lose 2 mpg. With E10 you are already losing about 1.2 mpg vs gasoline. Looks to me that E10 or E15 is a slightly better buy in most cases but if it leads to...

Originally Posted by JohnnyJohnson What's your family's life worth? Agree with you. We bought 7 new small-sized tires at real good deals (dealers wouldn't install over-sized tires). All good tires, but they still cost a choking $1000. Started getting nice Craigslist over-sized tires from owners...
