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

05 Subaru Impreza WRX. It's got a significant amount of modifications now, but I really only needed a fuel pump, bigger injectors, and a tune. I've got aftermarket engine management, with which I can change the ECU map, depending on which fuel I run. I had a quarter tank of gasoline, it was tuned, then dumped 10 gallons of e85 into it and then the car was tuned again.
