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.

Just do port injection and you'll save money in the long run. I wasn't even driving my car on the street because it was so much trouble messing with going back to 93 octane at the time. GO E.

This is how I felt all along but good to hear others thinking the same way.
