You are correct, the other dude is being needlessly aggressively argumentative. Buddy of mine used to have a high performance truck that he needed to get gas from like the airport or some shit. He got rid of it after a couple years because it was a pain in the ass to keep fueled.
Oh totally, dude… that’s how it seems to be here from what I can tell. Reddit certainly had its hyper argumentative people, but a lot of conversations I’ve seen here seem to have a lot more of that attitude.
I have a good buddy who bought an early 90’s Supra that had a larger twin turbo installed on it and a bunch of other after market modifications. He ended up upgrading the fuel injectors and hand-made himself a brand new wiring harness for it and added a flashing utility for the computer. I helped him trailer it up to a dyno a few hours away from us so he could get it tuned. They were able to tune it to a handful of different fuel types… they tunes it for street gas and racing gas I think. They were talking about also tuning for E85, but I don’t think that ever got done. It was a lot of fun watching them actually run it on the dyno… iirc, it was pushing just under 700 hp at the wheels on street gas. It was fucking nuts.
