Re: Pump & meth vs. E85

At 370 stations serving E85, Minnesota has the largest capacity in the nation by far. I Recommend you take advantage of it... while you can.

I use my DSM only for personal entertainment. It is running on a stand alone in open loop only (~11.5 afr, 25* timing) I get 14 mpg with a heavy throttle and small turbo. At the same AFR, just cursing to Duluth, a few triple digit bursts here and there, I got 18 MPG. I am sure if I lean it out and increase the timing at cruising, I could do mid 20's (AWD). I haven't tried DD e85 though, so it might be a PITA scheduling fillups.
