Keep in mind the cost of 104 octane race gas is over 13.00 a gallon.

If you drive 3000 miles a year at 15 mpg, that's 2600.00 in race fuel vs 600.00 in E85. In 1 season you just paid for most of a ToohighPSI setup.

I would wager two things happen in this scenario.

1) The car no longer gets driven due to the cost of race fuel.

2) The car lives detuned on 93 because of inconvenience of flashing tune and ridiculous cost of race fuel.

*I do agree that race fuel allows the fuel system to go much further. Either way there is no free lunch on this platform. Pros and Cons either way you go.
