[QUOTE="jada_bloom, post: 1063510535, member: 76635"] just my point of view : Disadvantages of E85 - Ethanol can absorb water & if water enters the fuel tank. It dilutes ethanol, reducing its value as a fuel.It causes problems with corrosion and phase separation in the gasoline mixture. Ethanol dissolves almost everything.It absorbs and carries dirt inside the fuel lines and fuel tank, thus contaminanting the car engine system. Ethanol is rich in octane content.It is highly flammable and explosive compared to gasoline. It requires more attention to handle in daily life. Advantages of E85 - Health impacts.Replaces bad gasoline additives (MTBE and lead), which are sources of surface and ground water contamination and dangerous to human health. Political impacts to consumer-voters.It potentially replaces crude oil, which is a finite, non-renewable resource.It can be domestically produced, thus reducing dependence on oil imports.It can potentially cut oil import costs Ethanol, richer in octane, promotes more complete combustion of gasoline thus reducing exhaust emissions. By the way, nice pics you got there AP tuning (It's rocco's yellow evo tuned by CFT and the E85 drag 4g63 belongs to Nikki Dunlop right? ) [/QUOTE]
