Anyone here much about this fuel. Looks good for the future, but wonder if it drains the potential power of an engine, say for muscle cars.

here is the link

2007 is the target for the new cleaner, higher cetane diesel. The kind they use in Europe. It is what our new 6.4L Ford diesel engine will require. Finally a replacement to the piece of crap 6.0L

As of now there is only 1 station that has the E85 fuel and is in San Diego. It isn't worth getting a vehicle yet to use it.

there are several stations out here were i am from that have the e85 stuff. i can burn it in my ranger because i have a flex fuel motor. but dont put it in regular cars cause it will fry sensors and stuff and it will make your car or truck run like crap.
