Soon to be running 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 with a proper tune you will get more power, if that is what you are looking for.

That's the whole point of an E-tune esmarkey. The Cobalt guys are making ridiculous power on E-tunes (400+ hp at the wheels for example), typically making 10-18% more power on E than they would on a 93 octane tune. Most are getting tuned for "E-blends" (i.e. a 50% 93 octane, 50% Ethanol gas mix in the tank) as that's shown the best results. Good stuff if you have access to it for sure. It's not my cup of tea because E gas isn't offered in CT unless you drive a DOT dumptruck lol.

I have seen stations here in Michigan that sell, it, but not enough to switch over. Besides, with the stage kit installed, I am satified with the power this little wagon makes. I am not sure I would want to hold onto the steering wheel with that much more power.... Maybe it 's my age talking
