^ Yup, just drove by there earlier and saw they finally opened that pump.

Makes it even more tempting to run my car on the corn juice now..

E85 is stupid. I hate to say it, but... makes no sense.

Yeah, serious. I'm always interested in hearing people's opinions on topics like this. I don't know a heck of a lot about E85 yet so curious to learn more about it and why people are either for or against it.

It works out to race gas octane at the about cost of 91 (well, what 91 cost last time I was in the Bay).

interesting, on the no to e85, them dsm/evo guys have been making tons of power with it. but then again it may not be the fuel and just the nature of the 4g/4b motors making power generally easier..

but still we've seen good gains on subys although not as much as the aforementioned.

Here ya go. Not my opinion, but I use it as it's cheaper than 91 and smells like beer

Really Ryan.... You dont believe in alternative fuels? Brazil is one of the largest E85 users in the world. Athough they make their ethanol from the sugar cane.
True E85 won't get you any better gas mileage but it burns alot cleaner.
Their have been Catless cars, yes catless that have passed the sniffer test.
Plus majority of people making the swtich on their Subaru's, Evo's, etc. are doing it for the performance aspect of it. Like some had said its compabarble to 105 octane at $2.XX a gallon and thats a bargain. Last time I checked 100oct. was about $6.xx a gallon.

Yep $2.50gal for 105 gas is STUPID, so is a CLEAN burning gas, and so is MAD safe whp with just injectors and a turbo back. Also Being able to pass smog is stupid when you are catless because the car burns so clean....

I'm glad you know a lot about it

I forgot all about posting that last night. I was just stirring the pot, really. Don't care much one way or the other what you all choose to do.

Though it is in no way a viable long-term replacement for fossil fuels.

04cali... I know quite a bit about it, but it's like arguing religion on the internet...
