Darn, since you have one of these (or at least have spent a lot of time in them) I'll take your word for it.

Not my car , I was lucky enough to be lent a car for a little bit.

Currently working on the e85 setup..

Since the fueling seems to be under control tomorrow I can start adding some timing,.

Varies from place to place but, around here, I can get E85 for about 10% cheaper than regular gasoline.

My quick Google search indicates Ethanol has about 75% of the energy that the summer blend of gasoline has.

On a 2010 Mitsubishi evolution e85 will eat right through fuel lines, and requires a different fuel pump and bigger injectors

This is what I thought happened at a minimum for cars that were not specifically designed for e85....

Someone please educate me why this would not happen to the BRZ (or any car that is not designed specifically to run e85).
