It's not shit. If oil companies weren't dickheads, we would have been using Ethanol instead of lead in petrol and all cars would be tuned for it. Ethanol raises petrol's octane rating and makes the fuel burn more evenly and completely. The heat of your car is regulated by your thermostat. When your car gets to operating temperature, the thermostat opens and lets the coolant go through your radiator. This would just take a minute or so longer to happen. As I understand it, if the car cools back down again, the thermostat closes again. So once at operating temperature, the heat of the actual engine would be held consistant. So your point is rendered totaly redundant illuminatus, as the engine wont actualy run any cooler after being warmed up. I'm not sure how adding ethanol effects things in the combustion chamber (appart from making the fuel burn more completly and adding octane). Anyone out there know? (and I don't mean those of you who where 'told by a friend who knows a mechanic') I wonder if the loss of power in E10 from lack of energy would be counteracted by the more completly burning fuel? The reason ethanol isn't good for everyones engines is 'cuz they can wear plastic or rubber parts in the fuel delivery system. [Report message to a moderator]
