e85 and carb

E85 may have a higher octane rating, but it also provides less power than 87 octane gas. Meaning, not only do you have less horses to play with, but your mileage will suffer.

Also, the ethanol is much more corrosive to rubber/plastic parts in the fuel delivery system. Flex-fuel vehicles have different compounds to those parts, which resist the corrosive effect.

It’s also no cheaper than regular ol’ 87, if you can find it.

Let’s see…less power, worse mileage, bad for the engine, and I don’t save anything…what a winning combination.

the new Sheetz in front of Bowser on 51 has E85 for 2.35 and 87 for 2.83 - I would say it’s a little cheaper per gallon.
