    However if you do try it keep us tuned on how it works out.
    if you do this switch with 'hippie' in mind then youre dumb. this stuff is cheap race gas. if youre running it expecting good mileage then youre already looking in the wrong direction. the point of running e85 in a performance car is the high octane and the cooling effect the ethanol has. anyone who knows anything about fuels knows that switching to e85 alone will give a great gain in performance.
