As long as you have a flex fuel sensor installed that's not a big issue. Regardless the octane rating is still much higher and benefits of being able to tune a little more aggressively is always a plus. I'm no expert but I've been running E85 for a while now and I love it. You can feel the difference but you do use about 30% more fuel. So if you were able to get 20mpg before then you'll be around 15 mpg on E85 like myself. I'm sure someone will chime in with a more technical answer but that's pretty much why I go with it. You have people on both sides

I like the information you're giving me Derrick much appreciated. If you dont mind me asking what are all the necessary components i will need to fully convert to e-85 and are there any websites that offer just a fueling package that comes with everything i need to convert? Thank you in advance much appreciated!
