How hard do yall think it would be to get E85 distributed to your home? That may be a solution for some if its possible to do. You could get two maps and when your hungry for power or just wanna go rip some dudes car out the road problem solved.

The closest pump with 93 octane (that I know of) is 50 miles from my house. I needed fuel so yesterday I drove the 100 mile round trip. Does that answer your question?

Not only that but when I start with my fueled by corn project, Ill prob have the same company that delivers our heating fuel (which is essentially diesel fuel) deliver me some liquid corn so I can store it in a tank similar to my heating fuel tank with a fuel dispensing nozzle that my buddy took from a local gas station lol. The reason for spending buku bucks for this is because the nearest e85 station is an 4 hours away from me

Hell yeah man..... when I had a STi I planned on doing that as well.. im kinda out there when it comes to being near resources and ****. takes me 15 to 20 mins to go grocery shopping . But I love being in the middle of nowhere, peaceful to chill with your friends by the fire pit and have a good time in the summer. ( Sorry for the minor thread jack )

But to get back on topic, if 91 is all you have to wdefinitelyetly look at the water/meth kits for sure. They do make a world of a difference really
