29 gallons hahaha:laugh:, I believe it could be done though if you needed the extra cruising range:shrug:
 
The trailer takes E85!? Schweeeet.:laugh:

I wish I could have been there to see it in person. It looks amazing in photos.

Yup, takes E85 and gets better mileage than the car, but it really never seems to fill up all the way :shrug: :laugh:.
 
Joe, I showed my father the pictures of your car last night and the trailer, he was completely blown away about how it all looked because he also has a 95 SE, midnight red, bone stock though ...
 
speaking of fuel and trailers - $570 for the entire trip. :laugh:
I haven't looked at the bill for tolls yet.
Ohio came up to $24 cash, and the rest we have on our transponder for the thruway, MA Pike and Indiana so I'll have to check that detail online at some point.
The Ohio bill should have been $29, but one attendant made a booboo and we didn't argue with the price he told us. ;)

We travelled through 8 states on the trip home!
 
I think i was somewhere around $2-250 E85 for the trip.

Why does Nebraska have the worst E85 coverage... absurd.
