E85 has been the greatest blessing to the racing community in recent memory. Doesn't hurt that's it's about $10.00 a gallon cheaper....

I'm right there on E85 pains. I only have to drive 30 minutes to get it from a good pump. However if I fill up with E85 I can't make it to the track and back to the pump. So for a while I was filling up 5 gallon jugs with it I also ride dirt bikes so I have a bunch of extra cans from that so it wasn't a huge issue. Then I wised up and contacted a company 15 minutes from my house who will sell me a drum of the stuff for pretty cheap. It's the highest quality E85 yet! I use my cherry picker to get it out of the truck bed and then use a hand pump. Best part is my 10 year old thinks it's cool so he pumps it and a few 5 gall on containers and it's off to the track.

Can easily do that on pump, or pump+meth

But you give almost zero details on build or goals.

Fuse Race Fuel's are all unleaded , Their fuels run from 105 to 125 octane,
Hot Foot 125 is listed as being a 126 MON ..

I've been running their Ignitor 105 [104 Motor octane] on my 4.6 3v, Roush TVS 17lbs boost and a 300+ shot of nitrous and that stuff hasn't shown any signs of detonation.

I've also used the Gulf Mach 116 [107 motor, $20 gal] ... the Fuse is 1/2 the price.. $10 gal.

Power wise, I did make a little more on the Gulf but not enough to keep spending $10 a gallon more for it.
