Mazda makes first FlexFuel car ;)

Every time I go fill up at the gas station the gas attendant always gives me a hard time before pumping E85 into my car.. He says things like no no no you cant put that in this car what are you doing, were not going to be responsible if your car breaks. lol. Walks around the car a few times looking for a flexfuel sticker so a few weeks ago I put one on for him so he would stop bugging me.. lol.

You guys are taking this way too seriously. Im sure he knows hes not the first but I think the point is its probably the first with a "flexfuel" badge which would make it appear to be the first "flexfuel mazda"

i got a laugh out of it bro. have fun with her.

Well, if the smiley didn't tip people off that it was obviously a joke, I'm really not sure how some people get out of bed and tie their shoes every day.

I cracked a smile, only because you know the gas attendant is going to argue with all his friends that Mazda made some special edition FlexFuel RX-7's in the 90's. haha

Hehe, nice. Where did you get the flex fuel badge? Any auto dealership that sells flex fuel cars should be able to get them through their parts department, right?

thanks. some people on here do take things way too seriously which is why a lot of times i dont even bother posting.

you can get the badge at any GM Dealership.. not sure about now tho lol.

or anywhere on the net where they sell those E85 conversion kits the badge comes with those kits as well. there cheap only about 10 bucks or so.

as far gas guzzler.. I get about 24mpg cruising at 65mph in 5th gear. but thats only if I cruise around avg is about 12mpg with a few 1st thru 4th gear pulls.

LOL!!!! I am sure crispeed would love to hear that. You were no were nere the fastest RX on e85 and you may not be even knocking on that door for awhile with the numbers you have posted.
I was doing almost 100rwhp more than you on E85 three years ago. Now I am knocking on the door of 1000rwhp on a piston engine with E85 and I am know were near the record holder in that class.
Just to show you that people that think they know, have no clue.

LOL. I was talking about quarter mile times not horsepower. most horsepower does not mean fastest. Ok since Im "nowhere" near the fastest where am I then Mr. I have a clue ? what will it take to knock on the door? I need to know that way ill be sure to kick that sH#T down. lol.

Few people have made more power then me but these people have not gone to the track yet and do not have a time to prove it. not saying they cant either just nobody I know has yet. 10.6 wont be very hard to beat lol.. And why are you bringing up piston engines? lol whats your point?

And crispeed already knows

And so is hypocrisy. You're on a rotary forum and talking up your E85 piston engine? I get a feeling you're not near the fastest piston engine on E85, so you should take your own advice.

Actually its a RX7 sight, the site address kind of gives that away.
I never said I was, may want to read a little. Plus, I never made the claim that I was. You may want to go back and reread that as well.
Like I said before. This thread is pointless.

thats what I thought. no facts to prove anything huh? im sure if you knew how far off I am you would be very quick to correct me.. its pointless to post here when you have no idea what your talking about. and if you think the thread is pointless STOP posting on it your only keeping it alive.
