Ed is that for real, a gallon of E85 for $179.9. Must be an error there somewhere.

E85 was $1.67 a few weeks ago in a small town named Dalton here in GA a few weeks ago.

I haven't priced the Klotz oil that Greg recommends for use with E85 as yet, but how expensive can it be?

Addressing another poster's comments about ignition system weight, as far as the weight of the ignition system goes, it will be negligible in my Great Planes Ultimate Biplane 1.60. The OS 1.60FX should really turn into a fuel miser with that setup, since it is already really good on fuel consumption as a glow engine. That and being able to use the stock OS carb with the ethanol/gasoline mix makes it sound like a real winner.
