Methanol makes you see dodgy shit after a while though

Failing that shell there is 2 on my way to town and if i stop off at both and fill up i can just about make it to town lol

seriously though just get it tuned on decent stuff and stick to it
and remember 1 or 2 week old fuel is just as bad if not worse than regular fuel

yes, it's hard to beat ethanol in a charged engine.
high octane rating, low price, lower exhaust temps means less stress to the parts.
sadly it's not everywhere readily available. i have only one gas station selling it within one hour drive. and its not always E85, in winter its more like E70 without telling you and maybe upsetting your tune
