Why would soy based bio-diesel be higher? E-85 is currently made from corn.:dunno
The biggest problem with E-85 is automakers produce vehicles to run on it just to say they offer alternative fuel vehicles. They won't actually utilize their resources to make it a viable option.
Instead of completely tearing it down, why hasn't anybody told the public how to make it work? The fuel needs a higher compression ratio to be fully utilized. Add a turbocharger to a vehicle running E85 and see what happens to the mileage.
There's someone around Findlay, Ohio (45 minutes south of Toledo) that has two Chebbys similar to that. One is an 80's standard cab and the other is a newer Crew cab I think. Both are six wheel drive.
If you haven't, be sure to check your fuses. The fuses are in the fuse panel under the hood. I don't have the list in front of me, but I had to add certain fuses to mine when I got it.
