Mustang Fuel Change Up: E85

Internal combustion engines, as we know, rely heavily on fuel in order to make power. There are different types of fuel that can be utilized. A growing, more common fuel, is a great alternative to traditional pump gas. E85 stands for 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. At a normal pump gas station ethanol percentage can be up to 10% ethanol and the rest gasoline. There are many benefits, along with a few drawbacks, of running E85.

What is the Overall Purpose of E85
It’s simply a different type of fuel, generally speaking. E85 is primarily utilized when more power is desired without making any other changes (other than a tune and fuel components). It is rated at 100-105 octane and runs cooler than traditional gasoline which allows the car’s timing to be increased, making more power overall. For large, boosted applications, this can result in a solid increase in power. Another nice benefit of E85 is the price. When in comparison to traditional gasoline, it’s cheaper by the gallon, which means more rubber to lay down on the street!

The article also says it significantly reduces mpg. So it may be cheaper by the gallon but you’ll buy a lot more gallons. Again, corn should be used for food. Especially since the world is facing a possible famine due to our idiot “leaders”.
