Exactly, and even with the lower MPGs, the price difference almost balances out for me. I was getting about 27 on 91 and 22 on e85. I drive with a heavy foot pretty regularly, and with the improved performance on the e, I don't floor it quite so often. Or rather, when I do floor it, I have to stop flooring it sooner since I'm up to speed quicker.

I've only done the gas ones at Octane before they moved (because I like the smell of exhaust and the accompanying headache and the sound), but do these electric ones really get up and have good speeds and responsiveness?
