Message	I don't know how the octane boost would help unless it somehow helped fix the failing injectors. I'd like to run E85 in my car if I could get it set up correctly with new style injectors etc. E85 is cheap and has about 100 octane, and you have to inject a lot more so it cools down the cylinders better. As my car is now, I avoid all Ethanol.
