Mattonln Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 http://www.competitionplus.com/drag-racing/news/20780-morning-news check it out, supposed to make 4% more power than conventional e85 which already makes a decent gain over 110 Quote Mobile Dyno - Motor Builds - Service - Porting Dynomite Performance ATV Phoenix, AZ 623-255-7096
whoppes27 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Very cool! I wonder how much it cost compared to regular e85. The only reason I switch is because it makes good power at a cheap price. It might defeat the purpose if it comes out to be $6-8 a gallon. I'd love to see back to back dyno runs of conventional e85 vs c85.......I wish I knew of someone with a dyno that ran e85 Quote Racers Edge Powered 2006 trx450
whoppes27 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Just found this on a drag racing forum. A guy says he called and talked to a vp rep for pricing and this is what they told him "$81.05 for 5 gal, $766.80 for 55 gal" Wow! I hope thats not right....otherwise I'll keep my crappy pump e85!

nuckinfuts Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Looks like this stuff is popping up on the forums quick! So far that price of around $16/gal looks to be true. VP is either crazy or stupid thinking that people will spend that much over $3/gal at the pump. I see people are making consistent E85 just by buying E98 and mixing their own for around $4/gal. I'm confused with their decision of introducing this stuff. In the mean time, we'll have to wait for some more facts to come out. I just saw that Sunoco sells e85 at $7/gal! That's crazy but you know VP's C85 is gonna be a lot more than that. Whatta bust. Quote http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/450c01f25139ab7ef7d638c0209599ef.png
Dr. Beardface Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Damn $16/gal? That's crazy expensive. I haven't had much luck finding e85 near central california but shoot, for that price I'll just keep driving far with a drum in my truck. Quote 2004 TRX480R 30+ HP
Guest Deven Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Just called the major VP distributor in the SW and i was quoted $75 for 5 gallons and $650 for 55 gallons... SO NOT WORTH IT no matter what..... I was seriously thinking &7-8 Quote
