ocatne is only one component of the fuel that needs to be looked at when you are running a FI rotory engine. There are other qualities of the fuel that also need to be considered. [/quote]
Like what (beyond the ethanol content, which is the essence of this thread)?
I'm curious to hear the details.

The best place to get it has always been at the track. Fuel dealers live and die by delivering on their promises to the racers that they are face-to-face with on track days.

Takes about 10 seconds and is easier than checking your oil.

Around here, all the tracks are almost directly adjacent to stations that sell E85. Most of the on-track dealers do not supply E85.

That image can't be right. Insanity isn't in there.
