In 1925 henry Ford told the New York Times, "Ethanol is the fuel of the future."
For the last three years I have been using 30% to 92% mixtures of ethanol in my vehicles. I like the results as compared to the hated 10% mixtures found at the pumps. My goal is to optimize my 98 ranger for alcohol and am shooting for fuel economy 50% better than i can get with gas. I have the 2.5 engine and want to increase compression as much as possible to take advantage of the high octane rating of alcohol. I am hoping to find out how high I can go with that engine. 13/1 would be good. I realize I wil not be able to use gas anymore.
Thanks
