What are the benefits of running on E85?
What Are the Benefits of E85? E85 can be perfect for the high horsepower or high compression build, as long as it is readily available in your area. Because of E85s increased resistance to detonation, it allows for more power without the cost of expensive race fuels. Even at low power levels, E85 can also be a much safer fuel than normal pump gas.
Do you have to test E85 before fueling up?

What does E85 do to a Mustang engine?
E85 is a great tool for forced induction Mustangs. By reducing hot spots in the combustion chamber and cooling the intake charge, E85 is a great way to keep your Mustang running longer with high horsepower numbers.
Is it safe to use E85 fuel in a Dodge Ram?
It has a higher octane rating (around 106 iirc) which reduces the potential for detonation (it’s a poor man’s race fuel); moisture can be removed from fuel using a separator system like the diesels use; our trucks don’t use rubber fuel hoses, the plastic hose and fuel tank is ethanol safe.
Why is E85 not recommended within our Hemis?
Gives more octane=more power but less mpg. Keeps engine and fuel system more clean then 100% gas. I just started interest tonight so alot to learn. Why is it not recommended within our Hemis? NM–>Read the owners manual…. need the yellow gas cap or the E85 Label on the filler door!! Duh! Hell! I can’t even use the stuff any way!!
Can you put E-85 in a car?
Some people are experimenting by finding what mixture of gasoline and ethanol works for their car. Most cars can handle a 1:2 mix of E-85 and gasoline, and some can handle a 2:1 mix. One site discussing this is http://e85forum.com .
