You would think with the turbos and high compression, it would be the ideal fuel.



Thats irony right there, War use. The whole point of war is to kill the enemy. So we go up against Taliban and now ISIS with our puny FMJ, and they go against us with IMD and RPG.
Alcohol will make more power at the expense of fuel economy.


The eco-boost would work with E-85 if the fuel injectors could be scaled for the much richer A/F ratio required.
