Mine would regularly clear over 20 MPG, years, and 150,000 miles ago. I recently posted getting nearly 25 on a highway trip, but It was most likely a mistake. Did get close to 20 on the highway on my old 703's. (746's in there now are untested on the highway)

Maybe with injection. I'm getting around 18 around town. And I get 25 or 26 on every highway trip I take. I have alot of engine mods though. And it's standard

Cowl intake mod, neon injectors, all new fuel system components and all new electrical. Guess it helps I'm only runnin 31s with the rubicon wheels, (steelys are heavy I think?) and I think the jeep might have been regeared. And I do stuff like try to coast more and what not to save gas. And it's pretty flat where I live in Texas to lol

Lol. Even if it ran, it would be lacking power pretty severely. The energy density of isopropyl alcohol is a fair bit less than gasoline's.

If you run straight ethyl alcohol with your gas it'll up the octane level.. but its not necessarily all that good for your engine. Shiners used to run it in their cars back in the day for a little boost.

Curious as to how this is different than E10 or E85 nowadays?...
