That said, who knows if the fuel system can keep up. And it remains to be seen if any gains are worth the hit in fuel economy

E85 is everywhere in Melbourne, AU and cheaper than 98RON.


I'm interested to see what we can gain on E85, what the fuel system can handle and if there are any negative consequences.


Maybe a summer (your winter) project.
