Thanks everyone. Lot's of good info and opinions. I'm still deciding on which fuel to run primarily. The E-85 takes a big hit on mileage and I drive about a 100 miles a day. However, it's about $0.60 cheaper... At any rate. Thanks again.

I did ~80 miles a day for a couple of years too when I first bought my car.. Fueled up every 2 days too on E85.
I wasn't worried about MPG though.. too busy driving the snot out of it. |

Hate to be that guy but ethanol is pH neutral, so how is e85 acidic?

I know this is an old thread, but if anyone is still concerned with long-term use of E85, this is the most recent UOA I have after using E85 for roughly 40k miles.

Whoa, nice. I've never done an oil analysis, but change it every track weekend. Maybe I'll go longer now. I use Mobil 1, too.

If you get the oil hot, ie: 212F, it will last longer . . . with the proviso that the tune isn't overly rich.

Yeahhhh... I'm pretty sure that's not a problem. My oil gets to 270 on track days.
