I'm sorry for being a bit nit-picky here, but it's
not the ethanol that corrodes your fuel lines. It's the fact that ethanol is hygroscopic, which means that it absorbs water from the atmosphere. This water, in turn, is the stuff that causes corrosion. The only thing that Ethanol will corrode is your
liver. As long as the ethanol you pump has been stored properly, you should be fine.

1. "E-85 is only 70% efficient as 73 octane" -
In a sense, but who cares, it's 105 octane equivalent. This means that you can more boost, more timing, and make more power.
2. "Doesn't burn worth a damn" -
Burns well enough to power a car.
3. "most likely end up destroying a forced induction engine" -
How is that?? I don't want to say flat out that you're wrong, but I'd like you to back up that statement with some facts!!
