    I would imagine the cheaper price + extra fuel of E85 ends up being the same price as using 91-93, meanwhile you make more power on E85.

      Not quite, if you aren’t too crazy, you will save more than running premium. But most of us running e85 do runs and just get every last bike, more power for less price. But somewhat yes, it honestly depends on the driver and the car. Personally I’ve saved around 10% from e85, calculated for my one month usage compared by each other. I typically fill up 2 times a month, both with e85 and 93. 85 costs per fill up for myself was 45 and for 93 57. E85 I was running fine filled up twice in one month, same with 93. So personally my mileage was varies, sometimes low to 18mpg but typically my average was 22. Just saying the tank will hold enough.

    Higher octane doesn’t equate to higher horsepower.
    Higher octane fuel will not offer any better fuel mileage, increase engine horsepower, or make the engine start quicker. Higher octane only increases the likelihood that the combustion will be controlled, and your engine will perform as it was designed

      I'm around 6 feet tall, heavy set and it is pretty roomy to be honest. Only problem I run into is that i cant have anything in my right side pockets because my leg is really close to the E brake. My first car was a 99 Mustang GT and the S550 is way more comfy and roomy than it by a long shot.

I am so happy I got a garage kept 2017 with only 9K on her.. No Mod's and E85 experiments.. Thank God.. I didn't want to get something some one experimented on, Or a car with 3 owner's who turned it up and beats the piss out of their cars.. God I feel very lucky... I almost made that mistake and bought one that was already Mod'ed and if it was Mod'ed more than likely it was beaten...

    You’re too cautious with the gasoline. Relax bro, most newer mustangs can run on E-15 which has ethanol in it anyway. You act like the car was gonna blow up just staring with the tune and E-85 lmao. On a newer mustang you can run E-85 with just a tune too, you don’t need to change anything unless the car has been modded. Srry I keep seeing people say it’s only for Gen 3 coyote and that’s not true lol. You can tune a Gen 2 15-17 mustang gt for e-85 too. It when you start changing other stuff you have to get bigger injectors
