Not to much talk about running E85 here on the forums. I found some talk on other ones. Curious everyone input on it. Assuming stock truck not tuned speific for E85.. Lets not get into price per gallon or trying to beat the MPG game. E85 has a higher octane approx 107-110 so research tells me. And with 85% ethanol it will take more to burn and make power. With that said seems overall everyone notices a good bit of power gain from it and MPGs will go down. I have a station I pass every day to work and back so its very easy to get.
Any input on more frequent oil changes?
Long term effects?
Is it bad to mix half a tank of regular fuel with it (some have said they do to blend it in, others say run fuel as low as you can to run E85 straight).
Being easy to get, and wills ay after first 1/4 tank I have run it in my 5.0 it is a substantial power gain for daily driving and with smashing the right foot to the carpet. Have 5,100 miles on my truck and have only run 87 since new. Ran 91 for one trip while towing but never really tested it not towing.
