idk why you can say that ive been on e85 now for about 3 months and my miles per tank has only gone down about 20 miles to a tank and for a ga thats 70 cents cheaper a gallona nd going down. and it gives awesome power and cleaner is just beyond me why if its avaible by you you wouldnt switch to it

Can't do that

Stock turbo really needs a minimum of 1000cc and a walbro if your running any decent amount of boost. You will need a completely different tune also.

theres no reason to not do it only reason would be how far away you live from a gas station that had it everything else is all +++++

What about road trips? There's one station right in my town but, thats it. I could get away with that 90% of the time, its the other 10% that scares me. Heck, I've come close to getting stuck looking for 93 oct. that I'm tuned for.

OP, totally do it if readily available! As others have said, keep a 93 map handy in case you need it, but otherwise run ethanol!

Scheides, why have you gone back to pump plus meth? Since you have the aquamist, did you ever try e85 plus meth? Just curious.
