Actually it's only 51% they lowered it due to cold starting issues in certain regions

How do guys feel about storing e85? The nearest e85 pump is about 40 minutes away. Thought about filling up 2 5 gallon containers n taking them with me after filling the car up.

+1, also do you still run factory spark plugs or with E85 do you need to run a colder plug or different gaps or anything like that?

Stock plugs unless your boosted or spraying. Store just like gasoline(air tight container) but I would try and use it within a few months.

these guys have a great video series where they test various fuels on a 2016 corvette.

they did not show any testing for this but in this video they mention that their experience shows very little gain in power going above e50. here is that video


anyone interested in this stuff should find the first video of their fuel testing series and watch them all. there is tons of good info in there.
