[QUOTE="shanezt, post: 10269078, member: 27639"] i am on your side 100%, e-85 blows away 110 oct in every aspect. but i must say your figure of 15% reduced fuel economy is off. i went from 14 mpg to 8mpg. all of our dodge vehicles that are flex fuel have an epa rating that is 30% less than the regular fuel rating. if some how you only lost 15% you are truly lucky. i still dont see how one can deny the benifits of e-85. stop comparing it to the price of 91oct. unless you can run 24* of timing and 21lbs of boost on 91oct, then you cant compare the 2. you have to compare e-85 to race fuel, and here even 100oct is 6.00 per gal. i pay 2.29 for e-85 and i can run more timing than i can on 100oct. the benifit is having a car that performs 100% of the time, not just when on a "race" tune with a thousand dollars of fuel in the tank. and the fore hat argument is kinda lame to since to do the gt pumps the CORRECT way you need the hat no matter what fuel you run. the only added expense i had was the -8 line upgrade. then you also have to consider that i dont have to change my pulley, ever. without e-85 i would not be able to run 21lbs the most on 91oct was 19lbs. so that would mean to go to the track i would have to fill up on race fuel ( 75$) buy a shorter belt (50$), swap belts and pulley's, load race tune, and enjoy the car for all of 2 nights before i would have to go back to pump gas mode.
