Plus its a dirty fuel like diesel. So like I said run your crap gas and be slow. Guys like me with good gas will continue to laugh at you
I don't know Mike Whitt but because this one guy tried it and slowed down that must make it true. There is a whole lot of informaiton being left out.

Dirty fuel? You have got to be kidding me. Ethanol burns cleaner than regular gasoline and way cleaner than that the leaded stuff you are running. There is a damn good reason the government banned leaded fuel for use on public roads in the 70's.

Cost has nothing to do with it. I could put VP fuel in my car if I wanted to but it would be a waste. The reality of it is that you can get E85 at far more places and for roughly half the cost of Turbo Blue and for far less than you pay for VP, Torco, etc.

Yes it takes roughly 30% more fuel to run a car on E85 and methanol takes roughly twice as much volume compared to gasoline. Does that mean the alcohol dragsters and funny cars that run at the track are running on "junk" fuel?
