E85 is 104octane equivalent? So would E85 make good race car fuel? There is a BIG stink in the racing industry over potential bans on leaded fuel. The reason for the lead is to allow higher compression (and something about valves on older cars, but that's a quick fix)... so if i bumped up the compression on my track-only Del Sol to 13:1, i could run E85 and be green and speedy?
