i was thinking as i fuel up my wife's taurus this morning, is it possible to convert a vehicle (say my '93 4.0) to run the E85 fuel? im sure it could get costly, new fuel pump, rubber lines, maybe injectors. and i dont know if the non-adjustable timing curve would need to change. i know E85 isnt as effeceint a fuel but just wondered if it would be a do-able thing or not. this a.m. E85 was 2.87 and reg 87 octane was 3.20 i did explain to my wife not to run it and why, but it did make me wonder if it could be converted over.

Calculate the price per BTU and you'll very quickly go the other way.

Gasoline has quite a lot more energy than ethanol. Your mileage drop will FAR outweigh the price difference.
 
i didnt figure that it would be worthwhile, i just wondered if it was even possible.
