    For most of us these cars are a hobby and I at least, could justify spending a bit more money every year on fuel for the sake of my hobby.

    If there was more than 4 (YES FOUR) E-85 pumps in WA state I would probably run it and run 20 psi on my 9b's.
    Some info for ya! Where in WA are you?

    It will save your engine in a turbo car at 30 psi. And if you compare it to a comparable race fuel, it's 5x cheaper. The mileage/price difference between premium unleaded, and e85 make miles/dollar about the same. I would drive 2 hours with drums to fill before i gave up 150+ whp. Every turbo car i've had since 2004 has run e85. Out here in the heat, it's the difference between running 18 psi, and 35 psi. My dsm with a 20g on e85 would pull on 35r setups running 91 octane.

    Yeah, I have to make the decision for my build coming up. There are a lot in the Portland SW WA area though.

    I would run it if they had it here, I already have bigger injectors and a SAFC, sucks balls, there is a E-85 pump on base but its only for Government vehicles with the special orange key. Hmm I should send the base commander an e-mail seeing if it would be cool for me to use it! lol
