yup, ever since I drove in the rain. It's been acting up and dying when i come to a stop. I let it rest for a week, and then it drove normal lol. Anyways I changed the o2 sensor anyways and it runs good. Still stumbles, but no more dying.

Wow.... Saw this on the news this morning.... A guy from Shell Oil has predicted that gasoline will go up to $5.00 a gallon sometime in 2011...

Anyone else coming to the green side? e85 ftw!

isn't there a proposal / plan to bump ethanol blending across the US as well? I thought I heard that somewhere. If that's the case it will be going up more due to demand. . . In the emissions belt here in Chicago we have 10% blended already and as soon as it gets below 40 or so I have to run my bike on freaking race gas or it wont start. .

i think youre correct about the ethanol blending proposal. i also heard on the news about starting to bump up ethanol fuel made from seaweed and i believe sugar cane... plenty of sugar cane fields in Cuba
