Really? You can smash it within the speed limit and have a good time. Also you definitely overlooked "whenever you get the opportunity" in my comment. Clearly your visual of my written comment was overly exaggerated in your head And sorry, but your assumptions of my driving practices are completely wrong. Trade in your car and get a leaf. I heard with sticky tires they do well and should compliment the MPG's you are worried about.

E85 is easy 200hp. Delicious did it with a stock car and a tune at 201. But it'll kill mileage

What good is spending 2000+$ on bolt ons to get your power to save a couple mpg? How much do you have to drive it to make that money back? E85 is only about 1000$ assuming you run flex fuel

I forgot about the Volt, an even better decision! After 32,000 miles I have not had any issues. I drive it the way it is meant to be driven. I just don't get why some folks always worry about MPGs for a sports car. Nonetheless, I hope you find what works best for you. Calling people names is also very immature - you may want to work on that one.

Not even one complete sentence in all of that.

I'm not trying to "troll" or anything but, Jesus christ.

You've already been told multiple times what it will take for 200whp.

E85 will give you the power you want but the MPG will suck. On 93 with full bolt ons including a good header, careful choice of intake and the right tune will get you the power and better mileage than E85 but worse than stock. E85 plus full bolt ons will give you the most power but probably the worst mileage. The other thing about E85 is it gives you more torque through the rev range typically, so an E85 car with 200hp will be quicker than a car on 93 with 200hp.

^Keep in mind too, that E85 is typically 30% cheaper, so it offsets the 30% drop in mileage.
