I will have to price a 200L drum of Shell Race Blend E85 and see how much a litre it is now just for fun. I have gone back to BP98 with the current version 1 tune at 18psi boost. You certainly can feel a 10psi drop in boost pressure in the performance of the car. As the boost is raised in future versions, it should feel better. I am enjoying being able to just go down the road to fill up with 98 and getting 10.2 L/110km is a large difference compared to 16.4 L/100km with the E85. To fill up with E85 required me driving to and from the closest United servo with E85 which was 50 km round trip. At 16.4 L/100, that meant I used 8.2L ($13.90) of fuel just to fill up. The closest BP servo is a 10km round trip i.e. 1L ($1.34) of 98. The extra range of 200kms a tank is also handy for going for a drive and enjoying the car.
