I had to laugh the other day, i know it's not the E-85's fault. But it made me wonder....

I put one gallon of E-85 into my tank thinking, i'd start with one and work my way up. Well, after i filled up i drove around for a good hour before going home. From there, i was heading down to the north St. Paul area from Saint Francis, aka, a fair drive from home. The car was a B!TCH to start and i got a check engine light for the remainder of the trip. Car ran funny and didn't like to idle, it was surging more then normal. I know it wouldn't be the E-85 at that low of a mixture, but it made me think.
