Are we getting E85 anytime soon?

I think this we be great for the economy, and help drive oil prices down as it is only 15% gasoline.., where ours right now is somwhere north of 90...

maybe then we would be be able to depend on only our oil sources instead of those greedy middle eastern OPEC pigs.

brazil has been doing since the 80's ...maybe its time for us.

you wouldnt need a flex fule vehicle either..im pretty sure you can retune most efi vehicles right now for it

E85 is stoich at 9:5 to 1 or somehwere around there( i dont know the excact fiqures)

and is 100 or more octane.

so all we would need is to icrease our fuel sytems capacity to give the correct flow rate and volume. (injectors, pump)

like maybe 35%

and increase timing, boost or compression (good thing) to utilize the advantages off 100 octane, which would increase efficiency as well.

best thing is, we have all these things readily available

like standalone systems (aem, chrome uberdata)


i have a big feeling that this will our next fuel source, and hordes of people will be in line to retrofit their cars.

yeah, they say e85 would be roughly the same prices we pay right now..but thats right now...how about 2 years from now when gasoline is 5 a gallon, or 6 a gallon.

e85 could not spike that high because it is renewable (sugar cane, corn?)

when we find better , more efficient ways to refine and produce ethanol( hopefully real soon) then we can expect e85 to drop even lower.

hell im pretty sure some crazy farm folk out there will find a way to distill it themselves and mix it in with a lil gasoline.

im all for it, as i hate those fucking opec, big oil companies more and more everyday.

what do you guys think?
