E85 fuel mod Options

[ncampb]

This mod is great because it increases performance and saves me a bunch of money on fuel. E85 ethanol pumps are going up everywhere, and if you have one near you, I would consider this upgrade a necessity.

E85 is 105 octane. Thats why it will increase performance, even on a 5sfe with no mods. If you have a turbo, your performance potential is huge. E85 can resist detonation up to 30PSI. Try doing that on pump gas.

I was mostly interested in E85 because of the price. At my local station today, E85 costs $2.79 per gallon. Regular (85 octane here in Colorado) costs $3.89 per gallon. I actually get slightly better fuel economy using E85, always more than 25mpg. I think this is because 91 octane is "recommended" so lower octanes burn less efficiently.

I have driven on E85 for over 15,000 miles with no damage to the fuel system. The only thing that has to be done is you have to change your fuel filter after 1,000 miles because it might get a little clogged from gasoline residue in the tank.

E85 is nowhere near as efficient in terms of energy released as gas.
