apparently, it works really well in steady state cruise mode..
usually i get 14mpg on E85, but if i limit it to a 50/50 mix with 87 octane, i get the same mileage as 93 octane, but at a cost that's less than 87 octane. and it just flat out feels faster and builds more boost faster than it does on 93 octane.
so, i'll keep using it and support our farmers and all the associated folks that work in the corn/ethanol industry in this area, and you can keep bitching about how much you have to pay for race gas. that's ok- that just means more E85 for me

Just curious, are you running E85 on the stock fuel system?
