I considered it heavily until I figured out it wasn't the easiest fuel to get in WI, along with the decreased mileage and its really not too much cheaper here.

I do have methanol injection

also consider you'll need more E85 compared to your run of the mill fuel. That means larger injectors, more fuel pump, and all compatible components.

E-85 is win and magic , and i run it. The upgraded injectors and other components are well worth it.

I gave up on the pipe dream of having a RB with good gas mileage over 300 rwhp. I think it is retarded, so i have an 08 honda ruckus 49cc scooter and i also have my 86 AE86 for my dailys, considering the ruckus saves me over 100 dollars a week in gas i say its worth it.

E-85 has so many advantages over "run of mill" fuels.
I could list things forever, but basically ill just tell you its super juice and you need to research it yourself.

If only it were more available I'd convert the 240 to e85.
Reason? e85= 100-105 octane.

e85 is basically a blend of 85 percent of the alcohol-based fuel ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. horrible fuel-mileage, don't do it.

it's also so-called "flex-fuel" by the car makers.
not many stations out there, 1200 stations in the US, but they are rapidly adding more.

When did he ever even make close to 700?
