I get the drying agent from milehigh and use 5lbs for 5 gallons. It ends up being about 97%. I have used lower than this without much problem (90%) my car just sputtered abit more in the morning.

still looking? I might know someone.

I use about 40% re distilled heads per tank and put though a drying agent with out any conversion to my car. I get about 23 mpg. The only problem I see so far is hard starts on cold days but other than that no problem and a big drop in gas cost.

Just a quick hi work for Rogue in Newport Or. Do the gin and a whole lot of new stuff this year.

I have been using them in my car. Iworks really great and I save a couple of bucks.
