i run a 50/50 mix of 110 and 92, not because i have to, i just love the smell of ethanol and the car is a whole lot nastier on the mix than on straight 92, but no knock either way, i could probably add 4 or more * of timing on the mix but i haven't had to because i haven't lost a race yet, pretty sad when a v6 monte can reel in and blow by a daytona charger in after it launches like a madman

89 in the 00 Intrigue 3.5 twin cam & 99 Saturn SL2
I am loyal to 2-3 gas stations and they just happen to sell 89 for the same price as 87 so since I have discovered that that's all I have been running in my cars

96-105 will be in the Monte 350 if it ever gets done... It'll be running on corn.. yes i'll be giving up MPG but it's the weekend/fun car who cares!

I have heard e85 can vary so that's why I give a range... I have heard everything from 96 to 111

You should really get it tuned for the e85, you could be running lean with what you are adding in now. Not to mention if you tune for it, you will actually see some decent gains.
