    Items to improve fuel economy

    You wouldn't suggest that the driver run on ethanol as well? :blink: Consider this, when running E85, you almost get 100 mpg of gasoline. The rest is ethanol. Try buying beer at only $2 a gallon (or Everclear for folks that want to remind me beer is only 3-5% ETOH). Bottled water...

    ??towing??

    Tows great. Watch the stops! I'm towing a 19' deckboat w/ 130 hp 4 stroke. I switched to an ST from a much larger vehicle. Mind what you tow and don't skimp on trailer brakes if you are on the edge of the legal requirement. Take it easy accelerating or decelerating and you should be...

    That's all I see on the e85fuel.com website for Virginia.

    E85 - What to keep on top of?

    Thanks for the responses. Mine is FFV equiped, but with no real economic benefit, I was scared to try it. I got upset watching the price of E85 increase directly (not proportionally) along with gas. Funny how 15% gasoline has the market influence of 100%. Its still about 40 cents a...

    E85 - What to keep on top of?

    I bought my Trac w/ 9600 miles on it. I don't know the limited maintenance history on this vehicle. I started using E85 today. Everything seems to be OK so far, but I'm questioning the attempt before I had it checked out to make sure everything was still flex-fuel spec. What are the...

    Gas Prices

    Its time to take the E85 plunge. I went to the flex fuel conversion website and entered current day rates. I come out several hundred ahead w/ E85 even with the reduced efficiency.

    Hitch - JCWhitney/Curt Mfg

    What is Line-X? Is that a specific coating, or a bodywork franchise? I like the corrosion resistant coating you've added. What is it? I coal tar epoxy?

    Hitch - JCWhitney/Curt Mfg

    I just bought my ST. White Adrenalin w/ color match bumpers, etc. I thought I'd pay for a color match receiver and saw a good price for a Curn Manufacturing Oxford White round tubular hitch I found through JC Whitney (JCW). Four weeks later, I find that the shipper (USPS!!!! I can't...

    Air intake, synthetic oil, muffle?

    I heard a bit on the radio that suggested putting the A/C on recirc or MAX after you get the heat out of the cabin. No sense in continuously cooling hot, humid air. (I've also heard this is not good for extended travel, need some fresh air) I normally crack windows and/or vent back glass...

    Poll: So what does your "shopping list" look like?

    ST came a month ago. Hard tonneau and K&N came UPS today! Don't know that I can stand much else for a while!

    New here

    I just installed the OEM cover myself. If you are on a budget, you missed out by not purchasing at the dealer. With vehicle, its a $590 add-on and worth every penny. Through Ford Parts Network, its $880 plus shipping, which is upwards of $210. Ouch! :o A lockable tonneau cover is...
