Default I make 40+ mpg

Methanol being unacceptable is true. Ethanol is OK upto 20% but methanol
spells death to consumer cars, methanol over 6% in your fuel requires
serious modifications so forget it

As of 85% ethanol i dont know, what I do know is that my 2004 Nissan Sentra
now makes 40+ mpg and will even go up! I use a simple physics law: it takes
energy to accelerate weight, I reduce that weight. I went to extreme by
removing spare tire the FIRST day of drving it in September 2004 as I am
covered for 2 years roadside and take spar eONLy to 100+ mile trips from
home and heck I might never load it, removed back seat, visors, trunk is
empty, installed ALUMINUM LIGHT_WEIGHT ALLOY wheels with strength rating
equal or better than original steel, this reduces unsprung weight->reduces
train on engine to accelerate and brake,
I use a real oil and not dirt-cheap petro-junk sold in conveneince stores, I
am an engineer and always try to find the bes tspecifications and
environmentally-wise which happens to be AMSOIl and not Mobil as most fo you
ar ebrainwashed to believe, AMSOIl synthetic 5W30.

I am myself 5'7 and skinny, light clothes, etc etc th ebottom light this car
is like a motorocycle now, light, excellent handling, people drop theoi
rjaws when they see a cheap Sentraaccelerating and braking instantly like a
Ferrai. And whole deal cost me now $19K, i am nto complaining I am happy an
ddont need 85% rethanol and DONT CARE FOR RISING GAS COSTS, MORONS WHO BUY
HAMMERS AND FULLSIZED SUV'S ARE TRULLY MORONS AND CRIMINALS AGAINS TNATURE
