2 gal E85 + 1 gal E15 = E61.66
(85+85+15)/3=61.66
You could probly substitute 89 for the E15 and get similar results but if E30 is common in your area then id just use that for simplicity sake

More timing...more power... vehicle runs cooler as well.

I hate when stupid people talk,

Aside from the power gain if your running full E85 then at least here in texas 93 is 3.80 a gallon where as E is 3.00 a gallon, I was getting 28mgp on 93 with mods and now am getting 25ish on e so im losing 3mpg and saving 80ish cents a gallon, thats sounds like a win to me

Is it safe to run 100% E at Texas elevations?

Helps with knock suppression way more then 93 Octane does, which in turns allow for more timing to be ran plus it helps your engine run cooler.

I CANT DECIDE!!! I dont wanna go Full e-85 cuz i heard its so corrosive and once you go past 50 percent you dont gain much. but i dont wanna blend cuz it sounds like too much work, is it really as easy as to pull up to the pump and put in 5 gallons e-85 and then 5 gallons e-15? that makes e-50 right? does that mix it or "blend" it good enough. E-30 seems good, not too high and i just got to pull up and fill up with e-30. some one convince me what to do!!!!!! is it worth it to do the blend? or just call it good enough at e-30, i think full e85 is outta the question. i have the ky clutch and hot side charge pipe, intake, catless dp. WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Your on stock turbo go 1:1 E47... You can get all the available increase in power with 1:1.

It has nothing to do with corrosion.

You are correct that there is not a lot of gain to be made by going over 50%. But it has to do with the maximum efficiency of the engines ability to make hp.

Since your stock, go full E85. It will probably be easier to find a full E85 pump then a E30 pump

so far only problem ive had is NLSing from 4th to 5th at like 130 and i get a low fuel rail pressure code. but if i dont NLS i dont have the problem, vince said its cause when you dont NLS it gives the pump time to catch up.

ok so mabey i was alittle ass holeish but please do just a little research before you say something that is not true, all it does is point people in the wrong direction, and causes more people like you (who just take what other people as gold) to say the same wrong info and this is why people dont use E-85 and why it is so hard to find in some cases, cause now most people have heard the RUMORS that is is not worth using and that it costs the same if not more then using regular gas, and it makes gas stations not wanna carry it if it wont sell, then people like me who use it have to plan trips around E85 stations cause people like you dont wanna spend 5 minutes googling. /rant

again sorry for being a dick but please know what your talking about before you talk
