[QUOTE="mustangman36578, post: 11900145, member: 66089"] i have heard that E85 basically ages the internals of a motor a lot faster. Since it is only ~15% gasoline, it lacks the proper lubrication for the combustion chamber and ethanol cannot provide it. From talking with some of the people I work with they have done dyno tests on motors that have testing hours equivalent to ~20,000 miles and the E85 motors looked like they had 40,000+ miles. Have you heard anything about the lack of lubrication of E85? E85 sounds very tempting until hearing this along with here in the midwest there is a summer and winter grade. winter grade is closer to E79 which is roughly equivalent to 94 or 95 octane and the gas stations do not advertise when they switch to it. If your car is tuned on E85 and the octane of the fuel for the tune was 105 and you go to the track on a warm october day with E79 and possible 10 less octane, your going to see problems. [/QUOTE]
