How long do you think that will last? I thought that E 85 cost more than regular gas to produce, which means it should go up like the rest of the gas costs.

Re: E 85 Update

Is there any advantage to just top off a tank with some e85? other than it being slightly cheaper? say like a 60/40 mix 60 gas 40 e85? on a regular dd n/a car with no tune?

Re: E 85 Update

That means E85 @ $2.31usd a gallon = $3usd a gallon of gas.
E85 sucks big ------- donkey nuts unless you're in europe, or south america where it is extremely prevelant
E85 is NOT very prevelant... Nowhere worth a ---- has any kind of mass distrobution of it.

Re: E 85 Update

ok, be VERY aware about E85.

First, it doesn't have to be 85/15 mix. It can be 60/40 or 70/30 in winter months since the ethanol doesn't wanna vaporize.

Unless your willing to sample each tank with a hydrometer for performance tuning......stick with E10 pump gas.

Must read.......
