I was thinking about doing something similar to that, if I ever get this damn car back on the ground. I took a big bite of reality when I actually starting realizing how much its gonna cost me to finish someone elses blown up project. I just hope its worth it, and that everything runs right when I hit that key for the first time.

I did the math not horribly long ago when gas was a lot more. Basically, on my car specifically:
Gas = 420 miles on a 12 gallon tank(It's 12.9 but don't care.)
Ethanol = 360 miles on the same 12 gallons. That means I need 14 gallons of Ethanol to go the same distance as 12 gallons of Gas.
When E85 was $2, and Gas was $3, it was a big deal. $28 to go 420 miles on Ethanol, and $36 for Gas. I would get more power and still save money. That's fantastic.
Now, however, Ethanol costs $26.60 to go 420 miles and Gas costs $26.28. At one point before the strikes I filled up with 12 gallons of 91oct for $24. If gas prices continue to drop ethanol will be worth it less and less to me, but I am NA. I'm sure on a boosted car it makes a way bigger difference.
