I just typed in my zip on that E85 website and it listed Lawrence Livermore Lab. In the notes is says "Private facility. No public access.". That's the understatement of the year. They do military and nuclear research for the defense department. No public access, in this case, means dudes with M16's gaurding the entire perimiter of the facility. WTF! When will California get some higher octane alternatives? As it is right now I drive 15 miles just to put 100 octane in the car.

I'm definitely keeping the Z06. I really can't say enough good things about it. I plan on making the RS a daily driver/auto-x car with a little extra punch.

I have been running E85 for a month or so now. I takes a load more fuel, but at $1.85 a gallon vs. $2.25 for premium, at least I make some of it up with cheaper fuel. I have a station at the nearest grocery store that is about 8 miles and they're building a new on that will cut that in half.

For us in Central Texas, the HEBs have started adding E85 to all the stores on I35.

I've got to warn you though, once you go E85, you'll never go back. My 3076 at 26 psi feels great and I have not really had time to maximize the tune. I'm running the same timing as pump gas and I am sure it has another 30 or so whp left in it, easy.
