3 hours for me. So 45 mins would be nice. I am gonna talk to the local fuel supply company and see if they can get it for a resonable price. I'd pay up to 3.00 a gallon. bought 110 for 6.99 so 3.00 for 107 E85 is a good deal even if you use 30% more fuel.

I have 3 stations all within 4 miles. It is currently $2.19/gallon and premium fuel is $2.36/gallon so it is not worth it to run e85 since the cost difference is minimal.

I do run e85 in the Ranger in the summer, 105 octane is great. I made 325hp on 18# of boost.

If you have the ability to change your tune to take advantage of the fuel, then big power can be made. Don't waste your time if you don't have a tuning option.

I was seeing high teens if I was driving agressively in town. On the highway I could get low 20s at 80mph.

Is it true that you need a special wideband 02 sensor for running E85 or E98. This company called fast makes one they say you need to tune properly. Jsut wondering.
