I use to run e85 at the road course but it became a hassle. I usually go through a tank at least every 2 sessions.

So if you have 3 sessions before lunch and 2 after I would have at least 3x 5 gallon jugs on hand.

I just run 91 with 4 gallons of 100 now.

I want to start running E85 at the track this year. I can typically get through 6-7 30 minute sessions on 2 full tanks of 93. And then fill up right before I go home.

Is anyone running E85 at the track. How many gallons per session are you burning through and what is the duration.

I have multiple E85 stations with consistent fuel next to my house. And one E85 station 7 minutes from the racetrack so I can ditch out at lunch and refill the tank and some jugs if necessary. Just trying to figure out how much I need before bying jugs. Didn't realize they were $40 a piece for vp one. Don't know if I want to rock out with the $14 steel jeep ones.
That's very good economy. Last HPDE I tagged along with, we burned 3/4 of a tank in a GT350 in one 25 min session. Obviously it depends heavily on the track. I'd expect to get about 2/3 the fuel economy on E85.

I use 50/50 e85 and 93. It gives me the benefits of e with slightly better fuel consumption. I take 10 gallons of e85 to track, and then mix in the 93 at the tracks pump.
