Why not straight E85?

Storage is the problem, just like with methanol.  As long as you are familiar with it, good to go.

Exactly... alcohol attracts water. That’s the problem with long term storage of those products.

In some cases a Bit of Fuel stabilizer might help! I think VP recommends to add a bit for long term storage IIRC.  Z

My plan would be to purchase in the spring and use it up all summer into fall.  I'll put some stabilizer in it for the hell of it.

Fortunate for us here in Australia there is a major retailer who has e85 on the bowser. Pretty solid ethanol content too. This reading was taken with around 5% 98 RON in the tank when I filled up.

That's cool!  I'm a bit jealous, there is no E85 anywhere here in Vermont.  I think one 55 gal drum would last me all season though...I pretty much drive to the track and the gym with it..spring to fall.

Mine is a daily at the mo, however certainly rethinking this - car is a bit serious now and ethanol not exactly good on mileage.

Which is why I just picked up a Ford Fiesta to daily... the cost difference per mile between the SHO and the Fiesta is break even at 15K a year by keeping the SHO and buying the fiesta... if that makes sense... lol...

Basically by not driving the sho for a DD, the money is break even buying a fiesta and DD it instead.

Snap - looking at a Fiesta ST as a daily. Only issue is that based on my history I will probably start modding that as well
