This E-85 has got me thinking, is there a benefit to it ? Its cheap, plenty of octane and I would have to re work a couple of carbs.
I was planning on settling down with the 94.2 octane and be done with it. It would be 4.5 gallons of 92 octane mixed with 1/2 gallon of 114 octane but its almost double the cost of the E-85.

I use it on the street for driving around it's not so bad.
Yes, I can see it for you, but was pointing out to Dragncar / Troy that there might not be as much savings as he thinks.
