    That's a whole lot different that adding MMO to make it work. Sometimes, it helps to splain a few things dude.

    To take real advantage, rebuilding the engine and raising the compression should be added to the cost. At least it would generate more power than stock.

    Ok dude, its easy you just add 1/4c to gas tank before you fill up with e85.

    Why would you need to raise compression with a rebuild, then you would not have the ability to use both petrol/e85 and LP? The computer is flashed to advance the timing when you do use LP for a much more efficient burn. Sure you lose 5% power but you gain soooo much more with LP.

    Thanks dude, have a good one dude, and google is your friend dude.


    EDIT Dude:

    Heres used trucks for reference.

    I guess you can't read.

    A) I don't care for LDub's attitude. (If you could read you'd have noticed it.)
    B) This Polie guy was trying to get people to run E85 with a cup of oil in the gas tank. If you prefer to try it and not have people point out deliberately misleading information, I'll stop pointing out dribble when I see it. Please try this MMO oil trick in YOUR VX!!!
    C) I have a VX in addition to my vette. My posts are never about my vette. Again, you can't read.

    Polie: The only thing I'm over-correcting is your inability to clearly communicate the facts about E85 use in a VX. It's NOT the same as your beetle. Oh wait! Where's the snide comments about Beetle-talk?

    LDub: You already know what I think about your attitude. You're obviously still crying and want to vent.

    Makes me wonder. After the moderator has spoken, people somehow felt the word of caution means nothing and went after me. I'm curious what he thinks about that.
