i wish it were that easy...100 octane went from 3.50 a gallon to 4.25 a gallon to 5 a gallon as the prices of normal went up...so if the gas prices go over 4 bux...expect to pay roughly 6-7 bux a gallon
but...if you have a stand alone or piggy back...retune ur shit for e85...its equivelant to 103 octane...and dont believe the things people say about needing to redo ur fuel lines...the shop i work with has been running it in their cars for a few years now (in a 600hp evo, 500hp subbie, 525hp DSM and the shop owner runs it in his personal 240 with an SR)...weve had no problems with any of the stock fuel line components running e85...i just havent personally switched to it yet because i dont have the cash for a retune at the moment
with E85 you have to run 35% more fuel in the motor...so it takes a little bit of messing with the fuel maps to get it right
neat thing though...with E85...when you drain your oil for a change...it will come out about 2 shades darker than it went in (instead of being almost black)...E85 doesnt cause carbon deposits in the oil like normal pertrol does
