Hi,
I am trying to find out some technical data for the Ford Taurus 1998 and 2005 (both FFV). The former used Methanol 85 while the latter uses Ethanol 85.
I need to know the following information:
- Horsepower of each of those cars' engines
- Top speed they can reach
- Miles they can go without refueling
I know both use an V6 3.0L engine but I cannot find the above information anywhere
Thanks!
1998 - 145 hp 2005 - 155 hp
Governed at 112 MPH.
1998 - 16 gallon tank. If filled to the rim, you may get ~20 gallons out if you run it dry. 2005 - 18 gallon tank. It may be the same, just a different rating.Figure 15% to 25% lower fuel economy, & range, on M85 or E85. The published/rated mpg figures for the cars you are looking at are readily available on the net.
Soooo, where's the alcohol power race coming up?

Also:

Thanks again Rob. I visited that site but could not find info for the taurus 1998 so I gave up and did not use if to get info about the 2006 model
