should i do e85 or not !
Wow that's unreal. I missed that one. The closest E-85 to me is 20 miles away unfortunately so I'm stuck on meth for now. To the original poster I'll just reiterate what everyone else said. If it's available, clearly it works, so use it. I certainly would. Gas mileage variances aren't really a very good argument against it IMO. Now if it smelled like *ss and costs double what 93 does then maybe it wouldn't be worth it.

E85 is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. it is less efficient than gasoline, which is why you have to upgrade your injectors. less fuel economy with slightly cheaper and way less available fuel source means you converting to ethanol will give you a power increase and more money in your gas tank just my opinion
Now if you're just racing? go for it. But for just street use? I say bag it.
+1. Guys who run e85 constantly carry gas cans full of it in their Evo because stations are hard to come by and it runs out so quickly. To me that takes away a lot of convenience out of driving your car to places.

e85 > meth/pump or race gas
If you have stations around, make the switch. You wont look back, cars run better, cleaner, faster, and it smells way better then race gas IMO. What more could you want? (and if you say MPG well go look what brian from GST motorsports gets)
Not to mention that meth usage causes a faster fuel burn rate too. I've noticed a measurable difference in gas mileage with the addition of alcohol and meth. I drive like an old man but when I'm on boost and the alcohol kicks in, I can almost watch the fuel needle drop.
Yah I'm not a big meth / alcohol fan either. But the main reason I don't get e85 is because the closest station is 30 miles. And one passed that is another 20 miles. It's just too much of a hassle around here. Sure if you have one on every block, i say it's great choice. But I'm not going to drive my car to somewhere I'm not at often and find they don't have any e85 and I need fuel 
. Too much of a headache for me even if you get extra power.

I sincerely wish I had it around here... It should be illegal that we can't get this stuff all over the country by now... Good luck with your decision, but really dont think its a hard one..
i am trying looking into e85, im running the aquamist hfs1 meth kit right now, and im debating if i should go e85, there is a station about 10 mins away and i was thinking about doing the map switch. how often do you guys have to change your oils and stuff.
i change mine every 1500-2000 but i did that on pump gas. ive run into some issues where there wasnt ethanol at some pump so i put it 2 or 3 gallons of 93 to get me to another station, car runs but rich but hey it runs.
why are some people hating on ethanol?

thanks, if i do go with it then i would be selling the meth kit and just e85
