I know we generaly get pretty good fuel economy. What about paying less for fuel and at the same time do something to help clean the enviroment? ......Now if you'll excuse me , I'll be outside hugging a tree..

yeah it would be good but e85 only costs about 5 cents less than gas and then you get less miles on e85 and you would need special fuel lines on the bike as e85 eats regular fule lines and e85 is still hard to find in my part of the world

Down where I was living in Texas, E85 was 30 cents a gallon cheaper at the HEB stores.

| I have heard that E85 needs to be about 70 cents a gallon to be cost effective, it is that much less efficent. Give me real gas forget hugging the trees the bark is to rough!

i have used it with a product called flashlube in the past, the scoot ran perfect and i found no degredation in mpg.......probably the reason why i have no carb problems either.

That flashlube is an obsolete product. Ever since they started building the flashes into the camera, and not making you change those old style bulbs out, flash lube is not needed any longer.
When they went to the flashCUBE, with four bulbs in one, they found the demand for flashlube fell way off. To a factor of 25% I think... And sure as heck, the price of flashlube (even the 55 gallon drum) jumped way up. And you all carp about the price of petrol! That pretty much confirms the concept of supply and demand...
