1968 Barracuda Notch - Plano, TX
I have been giving it a lot of thought. It would be very little effort to change the car over to run E-85. Everything in the fuel system can manage, the only difference would be to go up on the injector size. The EFI ECM I have is supposed to be the cat's meow in that department and can store up to four individual "tunes" activated by switch. So, a 93 octane gas tune and an E-85 tune can both be stored.
One of the reasons I am looking so seriously into this is that the engine is 11.25:1 and it is going to be on the edge for running on pump gas. E-85 would be a non-issue in that area for sure.
I have a gas station 2 miles from the house that sells E-85 at the pump. I have a 32 gallon tank and a fuel delivery system that is capable. E-85 is about 70 cents cheaper than super unleaded and will allow the car to run cool in the summer months with no issue.
Any comment?
