I got no clue Adam, but they did the full swap to E85.
It's funny you say that, Mike. They were talking about there car making the hp/tq that my truck does and ask me the MPG on just fuel. I told em it did 12.7 MPG on the way over here. Turned out there Mustang did 10 MPG on the way. I just lol'd and said, please don't forget that my truck is 7,192lbs and on 20s.

I think one of the reasons e85 gets worse gas mileage is because it has a 100+ octane rating which is pretty much race fuel. Only problem other than that is that not every station has e85 so you have to watch your fuel level closely

Thats reasonable...but it also contains up to 30% less energy than conventional gasoline...so you will use more of it, to run your engine.
According to what I have been reading, there are less then 2800 stations in the US that sell E85...I bet alot of those are in Washington DC and Detroit...

I've never seen a station that sells it.
And Jeff, what were the mustang's hp and torque? 39 and 69 doesn't sound to respectable.
