No More Sunoco - but - wait - it's still SUNOCO

Jacka$$es!!!

This is definitely a major marketing scheme.

If we all went back to < 10% ethanol in our gas, MPG ratings would go up and so would power!!

You can actually get better power out of ethanol. The MPG's do suffer though.

Apple is going to sponsor a car next year.

I would actually like to build a motor that runs on E-85 or E-98. You can make great power on the stuff.

Ethanol is a proven fuel, and if it weren't for the oil companys we would have been running it in all vehicles since the model T , which did run on ethanol until the oil companys forced prohibition, at which time it became a "flex fuel" vehicle for 12 years until Ford gave up the fight.(1 year later prohibition was lifted).
Is it a marketing ploy...yes. Will it work in their favour....we'll see.Will junior be able to win with this superior fuel powering his car.....hopefully.

My buddy Tim's 8 second Opel GT runs on pure Alcohol. Only problem you have with a race motor on alcohol is getting enough heat in the motor. He generally drives his from the pits and lets it idle a lot in staging while all of the gas powered competition tows or pushes theirs.
