E 85 for my 260?

[PanRonnie]

the nearest station for me would be a 50km drive which in the Netherlands is halfway through the country

Might as well stop at Alfacorse and go racing while over there

And a drum of race gas?

About $8.50 US per gal (Sunoco 112) so...55 gal drum would be $468

[StratosVT]

How much cheaper is E-85 than 93 at the pump?

I think, right now, e-85 is approximately the same as 87 octane gas so probably a 50-70 cent (US) difference.

[Krazymaan]

Its cheaper but you burn 3 times as much.

here in Singapore avgas ( all comes from Australia) is 30% dearer than 98ron (in Malaysia we can get 100ron for 30% of the price of fuel in Singapore, av gas dearer)
a drum of any of the VP race fuel is in the thousands of dollars
Methanol easy to get and USD$150ish for 55 gal drum
cant get corn based fuel here.
Hence my interest in Methanol

here (Fort Worth, Texas) E85 is $1.86ish depending on the store, and premium unleaded is $2.69... I ran E85 in my previous truck for 2 years, it averaged 2mpg lower than running 87 octane dino fuel. E85 made over 60rwhp and 80ft lbs torque more to the tires than 93. It made more power than Sunoco 110.

Not three times. Methanol is about twice as much, not sure about E85
