Thread: E85 VS. Premium fuel

Tweet

Yup, I remember all that. Thing is, it still has higher octane, cost less per gallon, and works great in 500 horse engines....

Don't know much about the rest of it, just know that it works for me..... Doubt it will solve any world problems, but it sure does solve mine of race gas at $7.00 a gallon and it comes out of a pump and tank, not a 55 gal drum that I have to store someplace...

yup might work for that dave.... but it sure does screw up the economy..... no one is better at knowing how to spend your money than the government....

I stumbled across a Shell station out by the interstate the other day that has an E-85 pump and a 110 octane "racing fuel" pump. I don't know what the E-85 is going for, but the 110 is (or was) priced at $4.50 Gal. Based on what I hear people buying drums of race gas for, $4.50 sounds very cheap by comparison. Am I not comparing apples to apples? Is the stuff in the drums the same fuel?
