Lightbulb E85?

I've been on here for awhile now & I've seen some members have their cars running on e85, how is it done? is it better mpg wise & does it increase performance in our cars? all i no is that its cheaper than premium so depending on price id be down to do it

Dont even think about buying that.

Your conversion "kit" should be injectors and a tune.

You can, but then you would want to stay out of the throttle.

I wouldn't try it, the amount of timing you run with E85 in cruise, can't imagine you wouldn't get KR...
