Wow, lots of miss information there! The VAST majority of ethanol used in fuel goes into regular old gasoline. Now that MTBE is no longer being used, ethanol is the standard oxygenation agent in gasoline. Sorry to burst your bubble there.

I don't run E-85 to save the planet, I run E-85 for the ability to push 30+ psi of boost in my EVO with a healthy timing curve and zero knock
