    has anyone tried running straight e85, or even a mixture of regular fuel with e85?

    You need a tune and bigger injectors I'm pretty sure but don't quote me on any of that.

    bigger injectors and a tune. replace the fuel filter a couple times. done.

    since you either didnt search, or tried to search 'e85' which returns nothing since it is 3 characters, search 'ethanol'.

    ive seen the 93 octane at the Renew stations and it says its 20 percent ethanol and should only be ran on flex fuel cars...would it be a problem on our cars since we run 93 anyways? its cheaper too

    you might run lean with it since youre tuned for gas, but you might also be okay because you can run leaner with ethanol.

    either way, only way to know is to fill it up and scan.
