E85 is not the most abundant fuel around, the owner is in his 50s, he wanted a track car he could drive to the track, just made the most sense to the both of us. Morgan ---

Wolf Road Mobil being the closest. there are at least 10 in the local area. i found one about 25 minutes from me. i would consider it as an alternative to a race gas tune, it is more available than race gas, and obviously cheaper. ill definitely have a 93 octane tune on the car though, its just not available enough to go without right now. ---

Well if you need one quick yeah, but if you shop around you can find salvage yards selling them anywhere from 1200-1800 no problem. Matter fact we might have one for sale soon, an 06 with bigger valves and better cams. ---
