    yeah i think its kinda funny that you see all these newer cars that have FLEXFUEL on the back or E85 approved......but where the hell do you buy it and is it worth it mpg wise??? I personally have Never seen it for sale..or at least not widespread over many gas stations

    There are only like 4 public stations in GA that are listed as carrying it. MPG wise, you get LESS MPG, however it is a good bit cheaper and the mileage difference isn't tremendous. It's worth it if you live near one of the stations that carry it. E85's cheaper, and with a higher octane rating than even premium. Just...good luck finding it.

    E85 does however give a nice octane boost. It contains less potential energy than regular petrol, but you can run more bewst if you have a turbo car.
    My car is factory....



    Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
