I've never run it but ik my 2010 5.4 gets a hell of a lot more torque and 10 more hp with e85

 

Fuel smart people already know alcohol turns more power and use it. Nascar uses it. They are getting better fuel mileage due to design and fuel injection. It is the cleanest way to raise octane in fuel. One fact, it is almost impossible to overheat a alcohol fueled motor. The intake manifold can actually be so cold as to freeze ice on it on a 100 degree day. The properly design is what is so important, not fuel. That is where fuel injection, compression, VVT and ignition come in. If U turn 450 HP U can run a much lower ratio rear end then U can with 275 HP. There simply can never be enough Ethanol to fuel it all. It along with CNG are great for the farmers and the air in big cities.
We forget so easily how much damage old gasoline additives did to the world environment.

 

It will never see the inside of my tank.

 

I threw 15 gallons of it in my tank this last fill up and topped it off with 91. Its more responsive for sure and just from watching the data on my Livewire and the amount of timing that is being added over 91 its obvious its beneficial.

 

Corn Ethanol is not sustainable long term for our agriculture. I think its a bad product and personally will never used it.

 

Almost no agriculture is sustainable. Some thing organics is more sustainable but when you look at the aggregate of organic practices you find they are usually less sustainable than conventional practices.

The product being good or bad has nothing to do with the practice that makes it. The product itself works great, but needs to be handled a little differently than gasoline.

 

I vote for a name change.
