But what if you're slower?

For the record, gasoline has an energy density of 34.6 MJ/L while E85 has 25.65 MJ/L. Big difference. For comparison, E10 that most stations sell has 33.72 MJ/L. You'd have to cram about 40% more fuel in using E85 to get the same theoretical energy output as straight gasoline.

While my car is only a DD and not raced, I'm not interested in running this, but I've read many places were running at the track E85 was working well.

I wish Ron would come in and tell us why he switched back. It may helpful to others.
