    Are you looking for cheap gas or performance? because you really wont find either with those cars.

    Anyway youll need fuel injectors and a tune.

    You lose mileage with E-85.

    This. Using E85 for "cheaper gas" in an oxymoron. The only way money is saved is if you are using it versus race fuel.

    For a n/a build no, unless you run 10:1 or higher compression.

    Actually the mileage to price ratio on E-85 is pretty equal to premium gas. IIRC a saw someone on another forum who did the comparison on his two cars and there was about a .01 cent difference per fill up between the two.

    Worse gas mileage but cheaper, better for the environment and kills KR.
