How much does it cost you guys to fill up a tank on E85? I am thinking about doing it. I think all I need to do is up my injectors and I should be good. I really want to break the 400's.

I am currently not running the gauge...but my tune is no where near aggressive enough to have to worry about a little change in ethanol content...but in the next month I plan to run it.

It cost's me around 24-27 and that's filling up when the light comes on...so around 12.5 gallons...I think it's now around 2.14/gal

But a week ago it was 2.01/gal so that was nice...but it's far superior to the price you pay for a gallon...the power you gain is what's the best benefit obviously...

^ Yup I've been averaging mid 20's to fill up...and depending on driving habits...I tend to get around 220 per tank...averaging around 18mpg...with mixed hwy and street driving...

I think I am going to do the E85 route. I have all the supporting mods minus the fuel injectors large enough to handle it. If I can find some fuel injectors large enough by tomorrow I can do it. I have surgery tomorrow though also, so that screws me.

So I take it nobody listens to the advise given on here. I do believe they mentioned to you getting 1050cc injectors and you said no I don't need it, then we told you about the cams. You must be a balled to be wasting money on getting parts that you don't want while you wait for the ones you do want.
