    Little Johnny:”Daddy, I fell in love & want to date this awesome girl!”
    Father: “That’s great son. Who is she?”
    Little Johnny: “It’s Sandra, the neighbor’s daughter”
    Father: “Ohhh I wish you hadn’t said that. I have to tell you something son, but you must promise not to tell your mother.
    Sandra is actually your sister.
    The boy is naturally bummed out, but a couple of months later Son:
    “Daddy, I fell in love again n she is even hotter!”
    Father: “That’s great son. Who is she?”
    Little Johnny: “It’s Angela, the other neighbor’s daughter.”
    Father: “Ohhhh I wish you hadn’t said that.Angela is also your sister.”
    This went on couple of times and the son was so mad, he went straight to his mother crying.
    Little Johnny:”Mum I am so mad at dad! I fell in love with six girls but I can’t date any of them because dad is their father!”
    The mother hugs him affectionately and says:
    “My love, you can date whoever you want. Don’t listen to him He isn’t your father.”

    There is a song about that 🤪

  2. E10 is a ratshxit fuel as it will even stuff up the composite float in a motor mower. So if you want to buy a cheap shxt fuel & put it in your vehicle , then be prepared for the unknown costs soon after. Under no circumstances should it be used in an aircraft unless you want to practice compulsary forced landings after the engine fails.

    I won't use ethanol blend in anything.

     

    Just had a thought: If a motor needs to burn more E10 than straight fuel, does that mean a motor with a carby will run too lean? I mean a fixed carby like an older car or mower.

     

    We had a Mazda E2000 light truck (Carby) where I work which we ran on E10. It had 2 engine failures within 20,000 Km. Not sure if it was the E10 or the fact that it was seriously underpowered and had to be thrashed pretty hard to keep up with other traffic. spacer.png

     

     

  3. When we first got our commodore I did a few tanks of each 91 95 and 98 (e85 wasn't available out here and still is hard to source) and found that the better economy I got out of 98 well and truly paid for the difference in price per litre, our local servo for a long time only had 95 which was still better value per 100ks than 91 and as it turns out probably better for it than even 98.

    Absolutely right.

     

    I did the same type of tests in 1998 with a 5.0 litre VT Berlina. I also used full synthetic oil. The saving in fuel burn more than paid for the extra cost of the 98 octane and the oil as well. I forget the exact figures now, but it was something ridiculous like a 20% reduction in fuel burn. The other saving is in maintenance costs. At 120,000 Km the motor was due for an injector clean. All the injectors were nearly perfect and the cylinder bores (looked at with a boroscope through the sparkplug hole) looked like new.

     

    There is also a slight improvement in power when using 98 over 91.
