Ok, with rising gas (especially race gas prices) who is going to be the first with an e85 tune?

Power is not endless. Perfect efficiency is burning 3412 btus for ever kwh produced.
As DAP said, you would just need more fuel to reach the same number of btus...
Just more trips to the filling station...

could i get an E85 tune, like a race gas tune, and switch to it whenever i can fill up with E85?
say with EMCS or whatever that is APR has....
cause that would be sweet. it is 85% ethanol 15% petrol i believe, so if my tank was almost empty i could just fill 'er up with E85.....
any estimate on the power gains you could see? would it compare to race gas?

25% Less fuel efficient... E85 has nothing to do with saving $...
Not to mention it IS a fad, that will die within 10 years. Once we smarten up and understand the true cost, the direct price increases in the rest of our lives (milk, eggs, meat...) that this E85 is causing, the folks will look elsewhere... Hmmmm. Alaska anyone?
