Here in Minnesota they are offering E85 at some gas stations. E85 is a mixture of Ethanol and Gasoline (85/15). It's 105 octane. When gas was $3.40 here E85 was $2.45. So nearly a dollar cheaper for 105 octane. That's always good. I am planing on experimenting with my car and seeing what it'll take. I know it needs bigger injectors and I'm waiting to get appoved to post in the FS forum. I was hoping for some B6T or BPT injectors depending on what my research tells me. I am also considering getting a PROM burner to make my own fuel/timing curves to take advantage of the high octane rating. I also intend on improving the gas mileage, so only fuel mileage mods will be done this winter (past the timing and fuel adjustments through the EPROM). I'd like to stretch it to 40 mpg, but we'll see!
Anyone else do this or think about it?
