Hotter? If anything it naturally cools combustion temps due to the alcohol. Let's put it this way.... Once you make the switch to e85, you won't ever want to run 93 again.

It runs like any other alcohol based fuel, it requires more of it to burn the same amount of air, but does it at a much cooler temperature allowing for more total timing. You will lose some MPG but you can make a significant amount more power than pump gas alone.

Their may be that many threads on e85 but I haven't seen any answers to my questions?? So alcohol burns colder which means all in all it shouldn't be any worse for my car??? And I have heard I would need to get it tuned and 80lb fuel injectors would that be all I don't have to go through the hoses and fuel pump and what not?

E85 allows for a "no ***** givin" tune. Makes getting your car tuned, safer. That being said, my engine is grenaded but thats neither here nor there

Ok google will answer those questions.
Gm started making there fuel systems ethanol tolerant years ago since most pump gas is E10 now.

e85 is a cleaner burning fuel and is not bad for your engine at all
you are a 2006 so no need to change fuel pump

Two different answers fuel pump or not... So far I'm really interested fuel injectors and a tune shouldn't be that much
