[QUOTE="NERD, post: 620072, member: 8956"] You guys aren't taking into account the amount of fuel that you'll be going through. Yes, a car will make almost 15-20% more power because of it BUT you'll need 20% more fuel for daily driving and 40% more at WOT. What that comes down to is a MINIMUM of 20%, and up to 50% drop in fuel economy and the lower price does not make up for the lower MPG. In Laymans term, The gas is cheaper but you'll spend more time at the pump. The difference between Summer and winter E85 is huge. You'll need to 100% empty the tank of one before you can switch to the other. And although you say it's readily available in your area, what about outside your 20mile area? Ever go on road trips? I've built and tuned these cars and it's not worth it for a DD. (And no, you can't mix with regular gas.) [/QUOTE]
