E85 Pro - It's like cheap race gas. You can make more power with it than pump gasoline, although it takes more volume. Less mpg.
Cons (why I don't personally run it in my street cars)- The blends can be inconsistent. The dreaded black goo and having to clean your injectors/fuel system occasionally. A lot of places I may want to drive don't have E85 pumps so I'm stuck with a radius of where I can go on a tank. It takes a lot more E85 to make the same power as gasoline so you have to upgrade your fuel system depending on what kind of power you want to make.
That said- if there were stations all over the place I'd probably run it so check online or with your smart phone to see how many are in your area.

93 + Meth is much more easier for me!

I prefer E85 as it's all over my area and pretty darn cheap compared to 109+ octane fuels.
For a road-trip where E85 isn't available I can always load a 91 tune and keep the car on the wastegates, but I don't drive this car from city to city etc so it's not a huge issue for me.
If it wasn't E85 then I would be running 109 and that was $7+ a gallon. I don't want to risk my car on meth failing and pulling timing at almost 20psi may not guarantee I don't blow up a really expensive motor.

exactly-
E85 is awesome, can't use,..swap gas tune(for roadtrip)..fill with E85 when your back near an area. E85 locators can be found on cell phones now for your area. When in doubt, google.
In SOFLA,..we have E85 stations everywhere now...wouldn't change it for anything.
Not to mention, my exhaust tips stay super clean, and the exhaust smell, is somewhat exotic/rare smelling. Like Drew, I wouldn't trust meth on anything.
