I thought about trying E85 too, but I don't think it makes economical sense on the street if the engine is factory. If I was running 11:1 CR, it might be worth the effort. I was guessing that someone could write a Predator tune for it also...

Ford did some testing with one of their 4-cyl setups, but they were also using a turbo and analyzing the results...

I do know several folks run E85 instead of racing fuel. 105 octane at that price is pretty good...
