it has an engine!
So, anyone have any experience with alcohol here? Ive personally never run it. I know it needs 2 times the amount of fuel and is 5 times less effected by DA over gasoline. Trying to figure out what fuel to run. Im not really big on Shell URT advance prices. Ill pass on leaded fuel types as well.

Can anyone here school me on it? Also if you think e85 will be better suited, please inform me of why. This will be for a street driven car with goals of 1000rwhp on high boost.

I run E85 at 15psi on a street car and beat the snot out of my car daily.

Assuming you mean Methanol? vs. Ethanol?

Most street guys are never going to run Methanol, due to the lack of fuel milage being in the single digits, and other issues with running it long term.

Correct. Didn't know it suffered that much more then e85 in the mpg department. Damn. That shoots a big hole in the idea. Explains why more people aren't running it. Guess I can't beat e85.
