All hail http://e85vehicles.com/e85-stations.html So for a while I seldom dabbled in E85 postings but I had a spark of curiosity and went to http://e85vehicles.com/e85-stations.html and son of a gun there are like 5 in my area I have never heard of. Closest one is under 30 minutes away, so I think I will mess with it. Especially because the government poures millions into subsidizing this wastefull, pesticide promoting fuel so that at the pumps the few who can use it get to save, right? Anyway, I heard stock engines with E85 and boost can go 800hp without pushing water or blowing, is this true? Can you use it in an engine with only a tune? How many MPG can you expect during regular driving compared to normal fuel? If 800hp is not true, how much extra power can you safely get due to its knock resistance and cool temps? Thanks

Unless you are FI I really don't see a benefit of going with e85. It definitely isn't cheaper as you burn quite a bit more than what the cost benefits would make. For us turbo and supercharged guys being able to run more boost and having the added knock resistance that comes naturally with e85 is the way to go.
If you know what you are doing with the tune, you can still get good mpg on e85, it's not a whole lot different cruising vs pump gas. Of course with A LOT of WOT it will be a lot worse than pump gas.

Guelph, Ontario Canada station no longer selling E85! I just called to check the price if E85 at one of the only stations near me (Guelph, Ontario Canada station) and they informed me they are no longer selling E85! That leaves us with two stations in all of Ontario.
Ontario is about the same size ofdumthe US statesdumTexas & Montana, combined.
These idiots refused to price it cheaper than gasoline and couldnt figure out why nobody was buying it. Some places were a lot more than gasoline.
Funny how all the dealers make such a big deal about the flex fuel capabilities of vehicles they sell even though nobody can get any.
I'm not even sure the other two stations are selling it either.

E85 has been working very well on the four cylinder motor cars.
It's all in the tune up and setup. I've done A LOT of E85 testing. E85 knock characteristics are like that of a 116 octane gasoline. I've made 1000+whp on multiple inline six cylinder 182ci engines and even 1200+whp without issue. Depending on your driving habits and tune up you can expect to get roughly 3 - 5 mpg less than gasoline on average.
