[ASK] ME ABOUT MY LOVE FOR 1'S
I saw a purple pump handle today. it was at a BP and it was some special one only on one pump and you would donate like an extra 10c per gallon to some charity and the company would match it. i obviously used another pump because the loving bajillionaires running that company dont need any of my cash if they want to donate to a charity

We have blue pumps here; ethanol-free. Not sure if that’s any kind of standard, or just what my Murphy USA does.

Edit: looks like blue is E15 in other places. Yeesh. Yellow seems to be pretty standard for E85 from what I’ve seen.

Yeah at Sheetz here we have blue handles and it's E15 and it's $1 cheaper than regular unleaded, it fuckin rules. down to $1.94 a gallon if you use their rewards poo poo, cheapest i've paid for gas in decades

also yellow isn't actually E85, it's just "Flex Fuel" which can range from 50-85% ethanol

Ten cents cheaper is not even enough to counter its lower energy content per gallon.

It would probably be better for weight distribution if they put the generator inside the triangle. And then realistically you don't need the battery and electric motor system -- you could just hook the output shaft of the generator's motor directly to the rear wheel for better efficiency. A sort of motor-driven cycle, you could call it.

But then it would have to be registered and you would need a driver's license to drive it

Guarantee the person that owns that has multiple DUIs and has a long commute to work :v:

I remember when electric bikes first came out, the old local bike shop I always go to had a few and the owner dismissed them as "bikes for people with DUIs"

Wouldn't it be better to just like get a jackery or something than a whole rear end generator?

Around here we call them D.U-Icycles. (rhymes with bicycle, or icicle)

I'm trying to picture someone trying to ride this home from the bar with that generator and battery up high.

Because if you have multiple DUIs, you're probably taking this to the bar after work. Maybe before work too. And during lunch.

:lesnick: C-Bangin' it :lesnick:

Ways back stopped at the liquor store after work, it was a fairly cold winter day, but not too bad.

I'm in line, in walks a guy wearing the biggest parka I've ever seen in these parts. He looked like the drat Michelin man. He grabs a case of beer sets it on the counter. I leave, and shortly thereafter I'm sitting at a light and notice him next to me on a scooter with that case of beer sitting between his legs.

At least his beer will be cold by the time he makes it home.

OP claims to have been just driving along when it “exploded”, and they pulled over immediately.

Tires were purchased brand new only a few months ago, definitely at the right pressure prior to the incident.

Well, they tried the Fury Road-style tire, but less quality in the execution.

2016 Focus RS, 67k miles. Ford covered a new long block and turbo under the extended service plan warranty. I elected to put a new clutch in while the motor was out as I got it for just an hour labor + parts and figured all the makes-it-go parts should probably match mileage-wise.




Nobody could give me a good root cause, unfortunately.

Too bad I don't get an odometer reset with it. This bad boy's only got 150 miles on it.
