Anyone here regret going with E85 instead of gas with their turbo cars??

Or others that went gas that wish they would of went E85??

I would like real experienced answers, to help make my decision, thanks!

Love e85, I just built big fuel cells for both my rx7 and ltd so it wasn't an issue driving it on the street, the rx7 has a 27 gallon fuel cell and the ltd has a 39 gallon fuel cell so I have long range between filling up.

39 gal!! I'd hate to think how much weight that is lol. And how far it would make the suspension drop

It's 39 vs factory 16.8 so 22.2 gallons more than factory fbody, so roughly 165lbs more weight than a an fbody tank full. It doesn't drop the supsension that much full vs empty, not as much as you would think, it's mounted right above the rear end so the weight isn't real far back.

Edit: I should also mention four 5 gallon gas cans fit perfect in the trunk, giving me 59 gallons fuel if I really needed it for a long road trip, getting 18mpg as it does cruising on the highway will get me over a 1000 mile fuel range! If I can't find an e85 then with that range...guess I'll just give up lol.

Love it, BEST all around fuel I've ever used...

Also just because you have e85 does not mean you can not switch to a gas map, you just will not be using anywhere near the fuel on gas.

I was considering the swap but there are just too few fuel stations that sell it. Run the tank dry just driving to fill it back up again..ha.

I will be doing e 85 on my ctsv this year. There is only one place to get it around me (40 miles away) so ill just run my gas map most of the time and e 85 when i want to beat her to death

What the bet pump to supply 1000hp of E85 for a boosted 355ci engine, 40psi base and 18psi of boost? Fuel lab or magnafuel pro tuner?

I'd recommend a magnafuel 4303

^^^This at BFP of 60psi and some huge (ID2000) injectors...

I love it! I run my TA on it, and I run my vette on it also, switching back to gasoline if I take any trips....easy just a reflash of the pcm when the tank gets down and refill.
I bought a E85 tester also.... one station here messed me all up, first trying to get my TA going on new 160# injectors.... stuff turned out to be only 30% ethanol....grrr. I recomend gettnig one they are cheap.

Love it aside from the black goo **** i get from it, but it is the only local e85 to me.

Love that it doesnt stink like burnt gasoline too

I love it and they just put in a pump down the road so no more driving 50+ miles round trip with 5 gallon containers in the back of the truck. Just pull up and pump. Sounds like a silly thing to be thankful for but once you live it, you'll understand.

Does anyone order it in 55 gallon barrels? Not any stations around here and one of my buddies said he used to order 55 gallon barrels of it for his Evo. He's going E98 this year for his LSx Chevelle build.

There is most definitely a difference in AFR in the winter and summer blends. I have seen a pretty big swing with the local supply. Of course they go from E70 directly to E85 or even E90 on occasion.
