Filled up my tank at $2.83 a gallon on 'Moonshine'

by Riley Jones on Mon 02 Jun 2008 08:10 AM EDT

Hey guys a friend got me thinking ‘green’ (functional ‘green’ not enviro-nutjob ‘green’) the last few weeks. Anyway, I noticed my van is ‘E85’ compatible a few weeks back and finally made the plunge to go fill up on ethanol today. And you have to hand it to the Midwest.

Down south, if you make 'moonshine' you get arrested. Up here, they call it 'fuel' and use it to help ween America off the 'Black Crack' that OPEC sells.

What happened to my van? Nothing. Ran like a top and so far I haven’t noticed a difference in mileage. My way of helping the environment, the American Farmer and sticking it to OPEC. Normal 89 octane gas around here is $3.89 so yeah y’all, I feel pretty smart at that moment.
