Or all I saw was broken down cars that ran e10. Same as the things get crazy on a full moon. It's observational bias Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/7220/#findComment-1498016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just ridiculous.Ethanol Is just far superior to Dino juice Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/7220/#findComment-1498020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
