In Kansas City, Kansas, USA at Quicktrip, $3.38 a gal for regular unleaded, $3.48 for mid-grade, $3.58 for Premuim. I usually fill w/ regular tho. My 05' Dodge Durango tank of gas cost me $60 to top it off (I usually fills gas when it's on 1/4th, my habit) Ouch!!!

Argh! For the past week, It has been at $3.45 per gal and today, it spiked up to $3.59 per gal!
This is not good and it will definitely pinch my budget. I'm not looking forward to pay at the pump this weekend when I go out of town for my step-sister's wedding. *groans* |

Ouch... that sucks!
The price went up again. Two days ago, it was $3.35 a gallon. Yesterday, it was $3.39 a gallon. Today, it went up to $3.45 a gallon. I'm afraid to find out what it will be tomorrow.

I had wait for few years until gas price has go down but... nothing is happen. We need find alternative to replace oil, such as E85 and E85 would require newer car model (after 2000) but older car model would continue to use gas until other parts need to be replace to support E85.

 Today, I mowed the lawn w/ little unleaded fuel left in it's tank. After mower died, I filled it half tank with E85 while engine was HOT. I started it and it roars to life no problem. I noticed it was a bit weak (It's nothing tho cuz still cut grass great) and motor runs smoother and exhaust is clean, no smoke and smell nice (I think I smelled corn w/ butter smoke Hee Hee)!! When the bag was full, I set the mower to idle, it died slowly. I decide to tweak the idle setting so it would run normal idle with E85. Because E85 don't burns completely like gasoline. After I finished mowing lawn, I parked it in garage and left it for an hour to let engine cool off completely for the purpose to test to see if it starts up with COLD engine. It was rather hard to start. I decide to put it in choke and pulled few times then move throttle halfway then start, it did run but died out (remmy that my mower is over 6 or 7 years old tho). My old mower need to have choke fixed cuz it's not fully closed. Also I might have to adjust the jet inside carburator (it may be capped permanently but worth try take out plug where jet screw hidden behind it.). Because E85 require a bit more fuel to combustion chamber to start and run (It runs no problem on HOT engine tho). I found one of blog from "Gas saver" and one guy mentioned that he use E85 on his mower for 5 years and never had problems, NO parts CONVERSION. He said it smells sweet. I guess it's worth it! LOL The trick is that be sure to fill 1/2 tank of E85 in mower. If you are having problem starting mower. Just fill another 1/2 with Gasoline and swish it (use handlebar and lift up and down or shake sideway to mix fuel). Then Mower should be able to start right up. It depend on make and model of mower. It's not GONNA to hurt tho. ~~Don't sue me for advice~~!! It's your own risk tho. Catty |

LOL. I found more information. I was correct on two things. To start mower, you must set it to FULL choke to fire up (you probably see throttle icon showing "choke" after full throttle in some model). Once it's warmed up, open it up to full throttle. If it start to be weak or dying, you can always bump it closer to Full throttle/Choke without closing choke completely. Secondly, If mower have jet on it's carburater side, you would need to tweak it by unscrew it about 1/2 turns or a bit more w/ motor running to acheive top speed and starts easier. IT's kinda technicial BUT good for those who know about engine. E85 on engine also may need to "advance" the timing a bit which is more technicial issue that I don't want to discuss further tho. E85 do have issue with plastic, seal ect on mower. Because of it's alcohol by nature, it's corrosive to some metal, can "melt" some plastics or eat some rubbers. so best try on old mower you don't plan to keep. Catty |

I can't afford that cost of gasoline with my truck's 21 gallon tank. For sure not many people here can afford that high.
