Ok I know this subject was discussed here in 2006 and 2005 but this is a new year and the price of regular gas keeps going up. E-85 seems to be growing in use and yes, Indy cars have started to run it with no apparent problems. New cars are being made now to be "flexible fuel" friendly but is anybody here using it in their older engined hotrods and if so, what are the changes you've had to make and hows it doing. We don't have it here in New Mexico yet but I know its coming

I've used it but! At 70  it would ping with just a slight push of the pedal
Some days it\'s not worth chewing through the restraints.

a small bit of reading I have done is the fuel system needs different metals to avoid corrosion.

There is a big new production facility going in right next to my work.
I have not run it in my vehicles. My bro-in-law has a pu set up for it. He can't see any fuel savings by using it. E85 is cheaper but the fuel economy is not as good as the dinosaur stuff.
