Gas Question

[skeets]

I went to get some all thread and passed a Sheets station that had UN 88 for 1.99 never heard of that what is it?

Unleaded 88 is a blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline that burns cleaner and has higher octane. It’s approved for all cars 2001 and newer.

That's funny because my 21' F350 7.3 godzilla says no more then 10% ethanol in the owners manual.

I've used it every chance I get, I can't honestly see a significant decrease in mileage or any other issue for that matter.

My newer Kia(s) are quite clear to not use alcohol above 10%. I do not know if flex fuel would void the warranty but I would not test it.
My mother in laws Buick has a green gas cap and indicates that it will use flex.

I'd go by the owner's manual, too.

Just because the gas is approved for 'cars', doesn't mean your 'car' is approved for that gas !
It's NOT the same thing.....

just because you approve of girls, 18 and older doesn't mean all 19 year old girls approve of you.

I have a “Flex-Fuel” pickup. It will accept E10 without issue….but more than that…up to E85… I have to change the oil and filter MUCH more frequently, and perform other maintenance more frequently, per the manual. Therefore, I only use UL and/or E10.

E15 is not flex fuel. E85 is what is considered flex fuel.

Interesting, the gas cap on my 2022 F250 7.3 says E15. I run it frequently when Sheetz has a sale.

Yep, a sale:

Sheetz, GetGo announce deals on gas ahead of Thanksgiving travel

Sheetz is dropping the price of unleaded 88 gas for a limited time.

I never used the stuff, but apparently it works fine in some vehicles.

Our local regular 97 gas was down to $3.11 to $3.15 a few days ago at Sheetz, Giant, Turkey Hill and Marathon. This afternoon it was between $3.55 and $3.61 at the same stations.

Sheetz branded the "88" because when they had it listed as E15 people didn't buy it. So, knowing the unwashed masses are dumb, they slapped lipstick on a pig and took it to the prom.
The EPA may approve, Ford may approve, but I don't like the idea of using farmland to produce shit fuel instead of food.

 

[Biker1mike]

E15 is not flex fuel. E85 is what is considered flex fuel.

Thanks for the clarification

And it's so good for the environment that you'll burn more of it to go the same distance as ethanol free gas!
