Biomass e85 is coming to California, produced in state.
LAN is way ahead of this with his programming, wow.
105 octane to replace crappy 91 super CA octane, sounds good.
CA gas on par with the best in the world, what not to like?
Low CO and HC emissions, probably pass tests without cats, yes.
The svx was designed in high octane Japan, not no octane CA
Factory intended power from our high compression engines, okay,
Less dependance on foreign oil reserves, amen,
SVX, ALWAYS AND FOREVER AHEAD OF IT'S TIME!!
Tom, what components are you testing? Way to go by the way!!
With all the spare parts available, did you cut up a piece of a gas tank and drop it in a jar of e85? Do the same with all the fuel pump hoses, fuel pump, etc.? These parts are rarely saved when cars are parted and crushed, someone send Tom parts if needed!
I'll run e85 on a couple of my cars, as soon as it becomes available here. That should not be long, the governor likes it.

So bang for your buck is severley increased there. We are also testing components on the stock SVX fuel system to see how they hold up to extended exposure to E85 that has been contaminated with water. So this should also help those that fear this fuel come to terms with the fact that we really should look somewhere else than the dinosaurs for fuel to keep our cars going. Not trying to deny that the fuel does burn at much less of a BTU per volume BUT there are gains that you are merely hiding behind these disadvantages.
