    E0

    There is yet another aspect of the E0 worth mentioning. I have two 4-wheelers that have cost me $160 for one and $240 for the other to have the carburetors repaired by the dealer as a result of using gas with ethanol. Since I have gone to E0 in these machines, I have better performance and no dealer repair bills. Hurrah!

    On my 11s, I have been using E0 for quite some time. I have noticeably better performance, much better fuel mileage, and I would be willing to bet that frequent carburetor rebuilds have become a thing of the past. My Venturer gets 36 MPG with E10 and 42-45.5 with E0.

    E0= more MPG, better performance, no more fuel system contamination/repair bills.

    Looks like another .50/gallon for E0 ends up costing you less than E10 in the long run.

      I would pay the .50/gal extra for performance alone much less better mpg. I would even cut back on beer to pay for it.

      My bike seems to run better on the cheap stuff, probably because that's what it's tuned for. I haven't touched my carbs in 3 - 4 years other than to check sync now and then.

      I LIKE BEER!!!!!!!!!!!
