Subaru Legacy GT (turbo 4cyl engine) with turbo and other modifications makes MORE HP on E85 (thanks to it's resistance to Knocking/Pinging) than on 91 octane fuel.
Handy!

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Bullshit. E85 is inferior in every way. We may see a day when it is the generally accepted fuel for American made automobiles but we just ain't there yet!!!!!!!!!
For the time being, I'll stick with 87 octane regular gasoline. I also am impressed with ethanol racing fuel for my race cars but that's a different story!!!!!!!!!!

It's inferior except in it's ability to withstand knocking.
