Wheels tested the VE SS wagon in this months Motor mag and found after running up on both fuel's (Herrods Dyno) ther winner was 98 @ 214.1 Rwkw's to E85's 212.6 rwkw's. 98 also made 1 NM more!

Interesting read!

Just dropping E85 alone in there wouldnt do much would it? Dont you need a tune to get max results, thus on a turbo car being able to run more boost, timing etc.. = more power..

needs boost or high compression to make the most of its benefits. I think most factory flex-fuel vehicles will exist as a 'greener' alternative blah blah and unless they are boosted won't really have much wow factor.

that is a gay comparrison.

its stock tune with 98 vs stock tune with e85. if you do race tune/setup with 98 then same car with e85 + big injectors... then we will see!

Pretty much Mika. Detonation is generally the limit and E85 raises that limit massively....6BOOST posted some really impressive results with minimal hardware mods recently :-) Everyone who tunes with it loves it!

The V8 supercars don't benefit much in terms of power but the 'green' aspect is good for the sport since it would be heavily criticised these days if they were still sucking straight fossil fuels!
