Re: E85

I run E85 in my Mach 1 and my Terminator.
The Mach has a 2.6 Kennebell, pushes around 22# of boost and gets driven almost daily. E85 is fantastic as long as you can find stations that carry it!
I just filled up yesterday and paid $1.94 a gallon at a local SHEETZ station.

I've checked mine randomly and have always ended up getting at least 85% to 87% E85 and never had any issues.

The only 2 drawbacks I've had are -
1. Drop in gas mileage. On pump gas (93) I averaged 16mpg. On E85 I get 10-11mpg.
2. Cold starts. E85 does not want to start/light-off easily when cold. So it take a few tries to get going compared to pump (93).

Good luck.
Ryan
