Awesome! Congratulations.

Since getting it, I filled my tank maybe 20 times and put 93 in it once, lol. And of course when I did put 93 in it, I ran into a high powered mustang where I could've used that extra horsepower. I doubt if I ever put 93 in it again, lol. E85 is awesome and very abundant where I live. I don't see much difference in price either. I know I go thru more but where I'm at, I can get for $1.99. And to answer kabooms question, what's the cost? There's a bunch of variables. I had 85# injectors, so I was good there. Where the real money lied in was the fuel pumps, I had to do the twin fuel pumps from Fore for e85. So it depends on where your car is at. If it's highly modded car, you might need injectors and a fuel pump. It was around $5K for mine. 1K for the flex fuel conversion, 2500-3000 for the pumps purchase and installed, plus odds and ends.

Question, Why twin pump and not triple pump? Im at the point where this is next to me, and Im trying to justify which pump to go with lol.

I almost went for the twin setup but with the triple being only $160 extra, I thought why not.
