Are you trying to split the ethanol down so you don't run into IDC issues? If so, it'll be fine. You could really use regular pump gas if you wanted to.

If the cost is the same, I go with VP Q16.

Your car needs more fuel with C85 thats mean you spend more gas for race.
I dont know the octane for C85 becaiuse VP fuels says 90. I prefer Q16.

I ran a mix of E85 and Q16 on my galant VR4, It made great numbers about 680whp on 35psi. I would say you will get the same performance on the blend. If it was my car I would run the C16/Q16 because blending your own fuel is just a headache.


But if you like the clean burning fuel and no lead to eat up those sensors then go C85.




On my evo I found I made more power on E85. I think I never ran lean enough of the Q16. But for us in the USA it is super cheap to run E85 all the time.
