yes! can't wait to try. i know the evo crowd makes tons of power on e85, but what 4g/4b doesnt these days 
ssteve, hah i like how you try and be modest by first not saying what car you had.
i know about them mitsus, make mad power easy on just about anything. throw **** in the gas tank and i bet it will make power hah
props to the guy who did the test on that other gas station, trying to cheat us on with e60!
its like those rumors back in the day about rotten robbie and other small time gas stations mixing water, but i think that was just more rumor than anything

You need to have it tuned by someone who knows how to tune for E85. Other things that are needed are injectors and fuel pump.
There's plenty of people here that are running it now and can give you more info.

you can run an e85 tune with stock fueling, but you'll be missing out on alot of power up top since you hit the limits of stock fueling at around 5000rpms or so.
you'll get big torque gains early on tho compared to regular 91.

+1000000 I was told by steve that if we request this on the e85 web page they can bring it to san mateo!! Who besides me and you would use it haha
Hearing that they are putting one on Capitol and another on Montague makes me want to do the change. May do it next summer if money permits. Can't wait to see what kinda power my stock bugeye will be making lol.

If gas station owners see enough interest in E85 why wouldnt they put in pumps??
