Your timing may be perfect. The price of E85 here dropped over $.20/gallon this week - under $3! Gas went down too but no where near as much. Makes E85 look better than ever.

Do you have to change any rubber or aluminum fuel system parts that don't play well with ethanol? Just curious as I have heard there are some part differences as well as electronic tuning (hence your tune) in cars equipped to run E85.

Guys, I hope you are keeping in mind that E85 will decrease your fuel milage by 30% +/-. So it you pay 20% less for the E85 than Premium, you get a net LOSS of 10% I am seeing prices here in Michiagan that are about 20 - 25% less than premium, so if you are looking to do this only as a fuel cost savings, you may be barking up the wrong tree.
Since E85 has higher octane than premium, so[/B] with a proper tune[/B] you will get more power, if that is what you are looking for.
