E85 is a dead end street. Its the talk on Capital Hill, why? Farm Subsidies. There is not enough farm land in this country to make enough E85 to supply the demand of fuel we use, let alone a need for 1/3 more.
The 3S is not a flex fuel vehicle, so you are killing your fuel system overtime running ethanol.
Run pump gas and -20 window-washer fluid all day long and make the power you would get with C116 race gas for way less. Can be done safely with water-methanol injection and our new IFS-10 injection failsafe.

great info from the 90s.
i used to feel the same but after some research and experience i feel differently as far as its use as a fuel. as for reliable supply...yes. something needs to be used other than food crop.
flex fuel vehicles have sensors and larger injectors/computer tuning to be able to switch between the 2 fuels. pretty much all fuel systems from the late 80s can handle alcohol containing fuels.
