I assumed as much, just wanted to make certain before buying a barrel.
Unfortunately there are few, and I mean damn few, gas stations in Wyoming that sell E75, 85, or any fractional amount of ethanol; none in the western part of the state.
Here in Michigan we have E85 it’s always tested at E85 or higher. A friend of mine still buys the barrels of race E85 for like $9 a gallon. He said it’s safer and will give him a HP and safety increase. I told him he’s just wasting his money isn’t he ? He has a Mustang whippled. He said you never know what’s in the 15%
Does performance increase? e85 vs e75 or whatever level it tests at ?
Nope. You’ll get full spark advance and the same knock protection at 70% as 85%. Combustion cooling will still be 98% effective as well. The other 15% is gasoline. Period. Doesn’t matter if it’s 87 or 93 octane at that point.Here in Michigan we have E85 it’s always tested at E85 or higher. A friend of mine still buys the barrels of race E85 for like $9 a gallon.

Most pump E85 or flex uses 85 to 87 octane gas. The stuff you buy in a pail uses 100 octane race gas. Can you tell a difference? I'd say no unless you are on the ragged edge but then you should be using straight alcohol or 114 race gas.
