in the end it costs about the same as running 93 or maybe more depending on current/local e85 prices lol

isn't it like 30% faster burning than 93 gas? i cant remember.

e85 station by me is at 2.20/2.30 a gal right now if iirc. 93 here is at 2.99-3.05 depending on location.

I only get 11mpg now on 93oct.

Of course it's my weekend warrior so it only gets driven hard when pulled out of the garage.

dont forget e85 will burn cleaner too, wont leave all that nasty soot all over your car. Big problem for me with 93 octane and a pearl white car. So i will be converting very soon
These two points are huge for me! Thanks guys, e85 conversion it is then! When I first heard of people doing this I didn't even give it a second thought thinking it was a nightmare of a change, but it sounds pretty simply, and really only benefits rather than any sort of negatives. Except for the mileage of course, but this car isn't a daily driver so it's perfect!

Odd question, but any sort of smell difference? Certain fuels burning obviously give off dif smells, and I love the power but don't want to smell like a rotten egg driving down the road. LOL
