With gas prices at record highs, we know guys have been forced to garage their cars. Or have they? In areas of the country where E-85 Ethanol is available, enthusiasts have been converting their cars and finding serious benefits. Not only is E85 only $2.00 a gallon, and a “green” fuel, but it is the equivalent of 105-octane. That means guys with power adders are now making big horsepower for less, when you consider that 105 unleaded fuel runs over $9 a gallon.

Check out e85mustangs.com to see some examples of guys who have made the conversion. Steve Shrader’s 1999 Mustang pictured above runs a built 4.6L 2V, supercharged, to the tune of over 640 horsepower.

Patrik Svensson of Sundsvall, Sweden runs the 1969 Mach 1 to high 11 second ET’s. The car also is powered by a Vortech S-trim supercharged 4.6L 2V, and E85 fuel.
