As the Administrator of E85 Technical Forum, I wanted to introduce myself to each of you. I am a 60 year old mechanical engineer that has been fascinated with the high performance car since the late 50's. I have been a contributor on this forum from the very beginning.
While I have not yet run E85 in my 84GN (w/87 drivetrain), it is only because my TR motor is currently torn down for a major upgrade. Antifreeze in the oil and readily visible metal in the oil filter forced me to admit that the unopened motor had seen one too many high boost runs. I will readily admit that ethanol is not the answer to our dependence on petroleum, but it is very attractive (to me) due to the chemical intercooling effect AND the high octane rating.
I look forward to separating fact from fiction on running E85 in a GM Turbo V6. I think we have a good start with many of you sharing your E85 experience with all of us.
