Alternatives to E-85
With E85 no longer available in my area I am forced to look at "alternative" fuels. I have been doing as much research as I can but am having trouble coming up with good answers.
Seems that I have found only 2 reasonable alternatives.
Option 1. Torco Accelerator 1 can per tank ~ $17
Option 2. Xylene 10% raises octane rating 2 numbers (or 20 points) ~ 19/gal
I have found E85 25 miles away and have considered trying to go that route, but unfortunately I don't have a decent place to store extra fuel.

What about the use of methonal / water injection as opposed to becoming an evil mad scientist?
I've decided to use it myself over race gas.

I do have a methanol setup installed, I may be going a little overboard.

11:1 compression on 10 psi you shouldnt need race gas or e85 unless the timing is real aggressive. if it was tuned for e85 it robably is. meth injection should work just fine though and its 1.99 a gallon lol

Good point, I know 93 is good for a bit more power than the m62 will be able to pump, but I was hoping to be safe as the temps rise.
