For base maps I'm going to be doing pump fuel, Sunoco 100 Race, and E85. For my personal race setup I haven't decided yet but typically I run Sunoco 110 with our Hydramist Water/Meth injection system. That combination tunes like VP C16 which is 116 octane. The octane of E85 really isn't all that high (106 range) but it has other benefits. Combined with the Hydramist I've gotten shockingly good results.

I really like E85 and I'm going to convert my STi race car over to it next season to test. The problem is that I will need to transport about 40 gallons of E85 just to get through a race weekend (one race car, if I only run 3 timed laps a session). The FRS I haven't equipped it with a surge tank yet so I'll need much more E85 to get me through a weekend since the tank needs to be above 1/2.
