Uh-oh...

I am sure you know but just in case, it's 105 octane and helps create an even lesser propensity to have knock but requires a larger volume.

E85 is so awesome, the wrx and evo guys are going nuts and have been now for a few years. It's been keeping their motors alive longer as I am gathering.

Yep, I know about it. I'd need a new fuel system, but the power you can make on it is pretty unreal. I hear it lowers yours mpg quite a bit, but I imagine the reduced price offsets it.
