I was at the station yesterday and couldnt help but wonder if we could run our 2T,s on E85. Some of my buddies run it in their hot-rods so they dont have to pay for expensive race fuel. They say its over 100 octane. Course it burns up faster but thats no biggie...Woulda you guys think?

Alcohol burns cool. |

" If a retailer chooses to post octane, they should be aware that the often cited 105 octane is incorrect. This number was derived by using ethanol’s blending octane value in gasoline. This is not the proper way to calculate the octane of E85. Ethanol’s true octane value should be used to calculate E85’s octane value. This results in an octane range of 94-96 (R+M)/2. These calculations have been confirmed by actual octane engine tests."
