    e85 vs gas

    For you guys on e85 what is the difference in consumption for a weekly show. I'm on gas now and a 10 lap heat and 20 lap feature I burn about 10 gallons. What would the consumption be on e85. Also do you have to change jets as often as you do with alcohol?

            Works great with the right equipment, and you'll want to check your fuel if you're not mixing your own.

              From the gas station, 84-87% tested with the test kit.
