Is E85 planned for full size Lincolns and Cadillacs ?
Some of these numbers are hard to believe.

For E10 this results in a 2-3% reduction in mileage.
Nah....... you just repeat what the ethanol industry states & all they state is the btu difference between gasoline & ethanol. Tens of thousands of people have real world figures casting the lie on the ethanol industry.

You have no information of your own comparing gasoline & ethanol. But to state that ethanol, used in a gasoline engine designed, built & refined over a century to use gasoline at its most efficient, will burn as efficiently as it will in an ethanol engine, specifically designed, built & refined to gain ethanol's greatest efficiency is wrong.

Of course, I have my 3 cars, all 3 which have much better mpg with 100% pure(ethanol-free) gasoline than with 10% ethanol blends. Also, all engines are smoother, quieter, & have more low end torque needing less shifting.

I have kept a spreadsheet on my vehicle's gasoline consumption for about eight years. I do see a decrease of mileage of about 3% with gasohol. Much of the pump gasoline is blended with alcohol and many states do not require them to be labeled.

I am more likely to take the results of a scientific study than from some guy driving a 1976 AMC Gremlin with 237,000 miles on it.:)

How about an injun with 'high level maths and science' who drives a clapped out Ford Festiva, surely you'd take his word as read?

More than I would from an old dropout. I am sure that there are some cars where the E10 would make a larger difference than the 3% or so.

Remember the old Computer program called Eliza. It emulated a psychiatrist and answered questions you typed in with pat answers that usually didn't address the question very well. Big_Goof is kinda like that.

Given the general content of his posts leading to many of the judgements he receives reminds me of a passage from a movie i saw recently.
"What is he some kind of machinist or something." :-)

Google doesn't recognise that sentence and I'm not surprised, it's missing at least one comma.
You're probably referring to Brad Anderson’s 2004 thriller, "The Machinist."

I see, so you don't know the name of the film in which you think someone said "What is he some kind of machinist or something" but didn't.

Which leads me to believe if you were to run the cray version
of Eliza on a commodore 64 it would be justified to name the outcome Earthing-1 ?

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Aries

Keep a firm grip on your money today to avoid anyone else getting their mitts on it. If you're out in public you should keep your wallet or bag clamped to your side, just in case it goes walkabout. You should also make sure you check any bills and invoices that you're given, in case they contain a mistake. It's a day when errors and deceptions are highly likely.
