E98 and up
Where are you guys buying the really high ethanol content stuff from. My local Shell shows a consistent E80 but for when I spray the car or run her at the track I would like to bump her a bit. Also what's the cost that you guys are seeing?

Fuel places. Torco here sells e98. VP has e98. Never seen over 85-87% at a pump here.

Me when Slo-Poc have a friend who used to have a 1200hp GTR and he would get it from this place. He would order 4 drums at a time and we would then buy from him.

Racetrack is in the 70s around me and some friends told me they found e84 at a BP but it's too far to go grab it.

I've noticed zero difference from e70 to e98. Are you really knocking or having issues with e70?

Flex fuel accounts for that and adjust fuel, so no.

Zero knock issues but the car will be seeing a healthy dose of nitrous at the 1/2 mile so I wanted to be on the safe side.

I run Kroger E85 in the car just around the street since most everything is crap E70. For track days I order Ignite from Jay. Their 114 fuel is the $h!t.

Do you difference between E98 and Ignite Red 114?
My 7.1 liter TT C6Z is FINALLY going on the rollers Thursday morning and it would be really helpful to know.

Yes I can feel a difference when driving. I haven't had a chance to run a back to back dyno comparison yet. I will soon.
