i know quite a few people that have put it in their cars just because e85 has a higher octane then 93. Some of the E85 is 103 or 105 octane.

why would that matter? they're not running high compression e85 engines are they? its useless...e85 has almost half the BTU's of gasoline...you wont get the same performance outta it

No i don't think they are making high comp E85 engines but you don't need a car designed for E85 to run it. Ive run it several times in my Volkswagen and did notice a significant difference in power, and was able to run full boost.

e85 loves boost and ozzy1 looks to have an srt4. So it stands to reason, that is why he is looking for e85.
