Technically speaking it isn't that cheap. You'll see about 15% less mileage with E85 so it's Federally mandated that it's sold 15% less than 87 octane. Or so I've been told.

I'm actually going to do the E85 with larger injectors once i use my 2mm headgasket and GT3076R so i'm down for sure.
Let me know when it goes down, i'd like to see the end results on a turbo S

I've tuned a few Supras on E85. There is a local supplier that will drop off drums to your house if you order from him. Forgot the contact but I can get it if you're interested. I think minimum order is 55gal. It's recommended that you double your injector size as it will take approximately 70% more fuel to burn properly in an internal combustion engine.
My first impression was:
1) took a bit of time to tune cold start, hot start and idle
2) the raw fuel has a light smell of liquified garbage waste
3) then after the tailpipe I start to crave french fries....j/k
4) serious note it has great cylinder cooling properties
5) great knock/detonation threshold
I know of a few people in the east coast running 1 part E85 to 10 parts regular fuel on daily drivers for better emissions, gas mileage and power. I've never tested this on the street or dyno but wouldn't mind trying.
