stalled on highway, won't start, need FF info

Yes the ecoBoost is a great engine. I think they probably will give TDI diesels a run for their money. As for Ethanol have a lower stoich, that's wrong.

9.8 pounds of air to 1 lbs of fuel is a higher ratio than 14.7 lbs of air to 1 lbs of fuel. My numbers come right from Fords own Flex Fuel training course materials.

The actual use of ethanol as fuel does have lower carbon emissions than straight gas, but the production of the ethanol from anything other than pure sugar cane makes more carbon than its use saves.

Are you sure you are getting E-85? Our FF s-10 drops almost 40% on E-85.

When I say "it" I was refering to air, I should have been more specific.

...in the moelcule chains, so needs less of it in a given volume.

I wasn't doubting the numbers, they are correct.

Show me the facts/sites to prove that ethanol refinement produces higher emissions.

Around here its E-70 in the winter (I don't run it in the winter) and roughly E-85 in the summer. I think its within 3%-5%, so its fairily close

Ok, back to the original topic.
Put the replicator in today, it fired right up.

back to quasi-off topic:

E-85 gets 30%less mileage, I've tried it a couple of times.

totally off topic:

E-85 doesn't pollute less, instead it pollutes differently.

Around here E-85 distilleries use fossil fuel to make E-85, so it doesn't decrease anybodies use of fossil fuels.

However, with an octane rating of something like 105, it makes a freakin' fantastic fuel for turbos, super chargers, or any rediculoiusly hi-compression engine.
That last one should be required reading for all the greenies out there.
