My E85 mileage is pure shit, because I can't help but wind out the gears constantly when I've got a tank of it.

A gas station near my work just got e85. Been running gruppe s headers with an oft tune on 92. Any risks with running e85 I should be aware of before I flash? Did some searching and couldn't find many problems with it.

Hello fellow Sarasotan...Sarasotian...Sara....whatever. Anyway Citgo on Clark Rd has the juice you need. I've also heard Thornton's up near SR64 has e85, but can't confirm as I've never been there. I'm actually headed down to Clark to refuel later today.

You will have zero issues if you back to stock tune and stock exhaust with the cats still in place

true, but the 86 was never made to take e85, so i doubt the components were designed to take e85...and when something is doing what it wasn't designed for, issues happen.... |

There are people who have reported running E85 for 4+ years with no issues.

You're right about the Citgo, and Thornton's does have it at some of it+'s pumps. I just have to drive a half tank of 93 out of my rig now before re I can fill up at Citgo. I'm so glad you told me about that. I checked every station on Clark the day before, but somehow missed that one.

I know the $ per HP on this car is pretty expensive, but I've long been tempted to do a full exhaust and tune and I briefly thought I might as well throw E85 in there too while I'm at it. Someone had told me it was hard on the car/could foul it up, but with this info maybe it's back on the imaginary list.
