The only practical application for E85. I got my car to run it. Not because it has environmental benefits or help ween us off foreign oil because it doesn't and it won't, but this:
91 octane gasoline  E85  Who knew that in an attempt to save the environment, they created street legal race fuel. Anyways, the dyno reads a little low, plus 6000ft elevation robs the power. A 2006 Z06 Corvette(505hp says Chevrolet) puts down 406 wheel hosepower on this particular dyno. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548

What kind of car?
Every machine that I've run even %10 Ethanol in was quite obviously not putting out as much power as with normal gasoline ... and that shit doesn't work worth a fuck if your vehicle is carbuerated. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!
