Default E85

What does everyone think? I know a few mustang owners that run it and have had great gains. Haven't seen anything about it anywhere else.

Its higher octane, and normally gets a lot worse mpg than regular fuel. But for that reason it is a bit cheaper.

Theres not enough demand for them to sell it here so its rare to see here.

I believe there is some stuff you have to do to run it but I might be wrong.

I go on mustang forums to check out the competition and learn about what there mods do for them and what not but I was on a forum and a guy in a newer body style 4.6 was running over 800 whp with a 150 shot and c16. He changed to e85 Tuned it and still made a little more power. That's without the nitrous.
