Yea I'm in Buffalo too go figure. I'm dealing with Sunoco on the Blvd in NT, it's pretty consistant throughout the summer but come spring/fall you never know when it will change.

Yeah there is a sunoco on maple in Amherst that carries it also.

I'm not really comfortable running it in my car, I'm sure its fine and all. Just too much maintenance for a DD IMO.

I know a guy that runs it in his red Viii without problems but yes maintenance can be rough, basically double everything and there ya go. Oil changes every 1500 miles, injector cleaning every 3-5k miles, plug changes every 3k miles etc.

It is a nice increase in power.

Just seems like a PITA to have to go like 3 miles out of the way just to fill up my tank, opposed to the mobile .5 a mile away.

Right. Sunoco on the Blvd in NT is on my way into work so it's convenient for me and totally worth the power but mine also isn't my dd anymore I drive my civic majority of the time and take the Evo out for weekend rips/track events.

If your made of cash then C-16 all the way , but if your not E85 ALL DAY LONG!!! Cheaper and more BANG for the BUCK!

P.S. If you build it right you can make 650+ on pump gas like I did
