put this stuff in the other day. figured i try to see if i could use mt 750's no worky looks like i'll be investing in a new pump and 1000 cc. ran great until i decided to turn up the boost. o well for now i'll keep it under 18 pounds till the new stuff arrives.
Our cars are only meant for the good stuff! you are taking a big chance on spark Knock since it wont clean the carbon in the combustion chamber like Premium would. that will cause Early detination (premature) makes the knock sound or metallic ping. since the carbon is already heated in the chamber when the fuel is let in it ignites robbing the performance of the car. not something i would want to do.

e-85 has MUCH more octane than the "good stuff" i believe you're referring to.. just not as much energy, hence the need for more fuel
OP give us an update on how e-85 runs in your car after a while in relation to wear, erosion of factory parts, etc. thanks!

Ok Please tell me why E-85 is located at the end where the LOW GRADE fuel is at. E = Economy 85= 85 octane, so tell me how this is higher then 93-93 octane???
Alsoif you run E-85 in a car that is not equipt to handle it then you will do damage to the engine, fuel cell, Pump, filter. OR make it run like crap.

Maybe you should read up on the subject a little before you make a stupid post that shows you know nothing about E-85.
E = Ethanol (a form of alcohol) 85= 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline

lol wow dude read a book.. ever think that they put it there cause it isn't like reg gas?? sorta like disel

85= ^^^ percenatge of denatured methanol usually between 100 -105 octane from what ive seen

haha it's like putting in the cheapest fuel you can buy. yes you will have bad gas mileage, rough idle and can destory your engine. how about you run it for about a year in your car without changing anything and see how will this will hold up! Yes it might be higher Octane but performance wise it's not there.
Ok so tell me if you use Race gas 100+ or E85 yourtelling me that performance wise it will be the same???? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
OUR cars are only able to handle 10% alcohol how about you do more research.
did i say it performed better, no i did not. If properly set up then yes you can have a more aggressive tune because of the higher resistance against knock, me do more research all i stated were facts. what you stated was completely false and pretty much ignorant being that you thought you were right E-85 does not stand for economy 85 octane dumbass
I thought that you had to change all of your fuel system out because E-85 is corrosive. Saw a thing on changing engines for cheaper gas on the speed channel. Not sure, just wondering.
Its not methanol either, its ethanol; methanol would be M-85. And ethanol is somewhat corrosive but not as much as many make it out to be. You could probably make more power on E-85 than on 93 pump or even 100 race gas.

Thank you, I agree with you on this. Now Our cars are only set up to handle 10% ethanol (alcohol) you would have to change the fuel system to handle more. and ethanol isn't corrosive it actually cleans the fuel lines and injectors aren't suppose to gum up like regular gasoline.

no worky looks like i'll be investing in a new pump and 1000 cc. ran great until i decided to turn up the boost. o well for now i'll keep it under 18 pounds till the new stuff arrives.
