an engine made for 93 octane and e85 would be a much better set up

making one that runs on 87 and E85 makes no real since. it runs like poooo on E85 in regards to MPGs

ive thought about it but haven't, since i have diesel and beat the gas by-far.

low compression say around 8 to 1 with boost. that would let you run 89 or 93 octane when needed.
or high compression like 11 to 1 mabe a little more, and just barely run on 89 or 93 with out pinging.
