Honest repair people are hard to find. Two quick stories. Wife took car to get oil change. They told her battery was showing bad in their system check and needed replaced. I had just replaced the battery about 9 months ago. Her car wouldn't start the next day. I checked it and the battery cable ground was loose. Tightened it up and away she went. If they would have replaced the battery, they would have found the loose cable, never told her about it, she would have paid for a new battery we didn't need, and we would have never known it was just a loose cable. 2nd story. Contractor told us we needed a replacement $7000 heat pump. Different contractor came to give a second opinion. He found a bad wire in the breaker box, replaced it and heat pump came on. That was 10 years ago and the "bad" heat pump is still going.

[@trythis2821]

Explanation made sense as to why fuel trim was wrong. What did Toyota do to fix it? The start of the video talking about fuel cap showing different fuel types. Said the ECU might need re-programming or faulty sensor. Guessing the upstream O2 sensor, possibly MAF. The actual fix is very good to find out.

[@williammouri1096]

Where I live, what Scotty just did would cost you about $350-400. Road test diag fees are crazy. Hurray for Scotty!!

I had no idea Toyota also made vehicles that run E85. Thank you Scotty!

[@grandpalarry7776]

Scotty. It would help if you changed your graphic when discussing the cost of E85 vs regular gasoline. You mentioned that E85 was only $.20 per gallon cheaper than regular gas but the photo showed E85 being $1 cheaper per gallon.

[@RichardSammartino]

Here in Florida it's 50 cents cheaper.

[@Tuespecialistabilingue]

Scotty needs an special award, like a Grammychanic! 🎉🏆

[@andrewprettyquick2070]

24.219% that's about the economy loss with ethanol .... It is working, it's just wrong.😂

[@SayAhh]

This is correct. E85 is worth it when it is at least 25% cheaper than E10 fuel. There was a similar calculation for E100 vs E10 gas, too, but I forgot what it was. (Like 2/3?)

[@ryanbrandt5404]

When I owned my tdi golf diesel was $.80 more than cheap gas. If a gas car (with 13 gal tank) did 40mpg and my diesel with 13 gal tank) did 50mpg at that price difference. The cost per mile for the fuel was the same. My tdi did 58mpg going to myrtle beach. In 2013 when I bought that car I don't think a gas powered car existed that got 48+mpg. So my tdi on more expensive fuel per gallon cost a lot less per mile than gas

[@arabquarter5382]

I'm sure glad I have my 1998 Saturn S series doesn't have a flex fuel

[@Garth2011]

In California, regular gas is $4.39/gallon. Not all gas stations have E85 so that tells you much about how serious California is about pollution.

[@williamevans6522]

It's a wash- then there's the extra labor of more frequent fuel stops.

[@RandomAxeOfKindness]

My old Corolla had an obnoxious anti-slip system that would come on all the time, but Toyota had a little recall and would have it reprogrammed. I had to drive forty minutes to find a dealership that would do the reprogramming, but it was free and a HUGE improvement. You gotta go online and find out if there's a fix, because sometimes there is.

I can't believe Toyota wouldn't stand behind their vehicles after warranty. Especially something like this a simple software update.

[@garyfranks2586]

clean the screen scotty

[@DanielDTUBWeinberger]

Flex Fuel, at least how we ended up doing it, was a mistake. Flex fuel vehicles are not too bad, since you can use all ratios. E85 is actually like E10 "up to" 85% ethanol, usually a big range between like 50-80% or something. E85 is only decent offer when there is like a 50 cent difference, even then you're still losing a little bang for your buck. I personally prefer ethanol free (non-ethanol 100% gasoline) fuel, but unfortunately cost way too much more usually. So if plan to drive often, use E10 or E15 (if cheap enough). Was crazy when went to florida one time, and E15 was radically cheaper than E10 which doesn't make sense.

[@durango8882]

Sensors? We don’t need no stinkin censors!

[@markperry5975]

Scotty, you're Great!

[@dennyhleucka7786]

Ya e85 uses more fuel but with a boosted vehicle you’ll make considerably more hp than gas.

[@Gustav041106]

Scotty, check the ethanol Content in that gasoline Because in the past two months, my mileage dropped over 100 miles per tank and in my wife’s car as well and we cannot explain it except for increased ethanol in the gasoline. I am going to get a kit to test the ethanol Content. Plus, there have been many news reports in the past couple of days of people having their engines blow, and they found out they had excessive amounts of ethanol in the gas. This needs to be looked into.

[@davidmiller6981]

Light bulb just came on i have been buying gas at big box switched to shell big difference bet big box is more ethanol than advertised

[@MrRupus2020]

If it's a GM product the computer has to be reset for the ethanol content. The vehicle will start shifting hard and running bad for no reason. The readings will be skewed badly. Like 1000% 😅 I'm a transmission trbuolder and ran across that once or twice

[@YS-fr6nu]

All because it’s flex fuel, you can use regular gas….. all newer cars have the option, I wouldn’t go near flex fuel. My vehicle was over eight years old, and I never use flex fuel once.

At least here in Finland they are selling pretty cheap flex-fuel kits that you can install yourself in your car. And remove later if need be. Pretty simple. The problem is that financially it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! You might barely break even if you are lucky by using the E85...

[@garymeredith2441]

Scotty I wish you would get Uber your hatred of flex fuel vehicles there is nothing wrong with them they are very good in fact here in California where I live it cost $2.89 a gallon for flex fuel $4.89 to $5.29 depending on where you go for gasoline if you drive a vehicle with flex fuel you have more power The oil last longer and it's just a better overall fuel to run-ins that simple Scotty .
