Default Tom and E85

Does he know even little bit about fuels & cars?

E85 contains 15% ethanol?

Ohmgahh!

He must've read the label on some pumps that let you know that the gas may contain up to 15% ethanol and figured it was E85.


BTW: That's the best first post ever.

That thread is funny. The "aerospace engineer" about the the technical explanation of why E-Cool works:

He doesn't know why it works. Then how can he prevent those situations when it stops working so the customer's engine doesn't turn into bits and pieces?

Tom-I'm just happy as a pig in slop that it does.

WOW, someone ask him why a yo-yo spins, and his educated guess will be 'it just does' lol

Tom was the marketing moron that came up with the name e-cool and it's ability to act like a intercooler.I honestly think he got hit one too many times on the head with a yo-yo.
