It's really not that bad. The E content tends to remain constant at the same pump within a season. Test a few times to verify consistency then have at it. There is enough breathing room in the tunes for that. Many of us truly daily driving an e blend. Some test every tank but many don't. Testing takes hardly any time.

It's so freaking easy a monkey could do it.

If it was more readily available up here, I would be running it mixed with 87, instead of premium.

Bonus for me having the ethanol % gauge, I’ll know what’s in the tank, regardless of mixed by me or the fuel truck.

I thought about getting one of those, and still may. I don't have ethanol very close by either. I wish I did.

One is pretty close at 15 miles, but the next closest is over 600miles. So I can’t go far on corn.

It's about a 1.5 hour drive for me. I go, fill up, and bring 55 gal back with me. Even still I haven't been back to refill my ptu barrel in a while.

Minor change, but one that puts a smile on my face. My Uncle dropped by over the weekend and gave me a new set of front bumper pads. Not more plate bracket. It looks much better IMO.

Man that is such a great looking truck! This is how clean I want my truck to look [emoji51]You have the RCI skid plates too right? What's your mpg starting to look like?

Thank you
Yup, running the full RCI aluminum skid (expect fuel tank).

MPG's vary wildly depending on what I'm doing, but if I keep speeds down and 100% hwy, it will do 18.5mpg. My normal driving and speeds yield closer to 15.5-16

I was thinking of getting the RCI skids and get a pair of sliders from chassis unlimited. Did you notice any difference in driving habits?

Lol I need to take it easy. If I set the cruise at 65 it will get 22+. But idling in traffic or lights, and lots of WOT pulls I average about 13.5

Custom powder coated rims picked up last night. I'll carve out some time this afternoon to unwrap them and get some pics up.

The plan is to put stock height "sporty" tires on them and have for playing and road trips where I have no plans to explore.

Oh you KNOW I like this strategy!

Although I admit to being lazy in the dog days of summer down here and have been running my BIG tires when I should be scooting on the street shoes.

I'd be more incentivized if the dang truck didn't spool the heavies so well. :)
