Also E85 in the winter isn't E85 but rather E70 because of cold start problems with E85. Your mapping must be able to cope with that (switchable maps).
It is definitely not going to be cheaper than E5.
lol if they stop decent un leaded it is what it is. What ever it needed it would get. It’s only a weekend toy. I asked my chosen tuner what will we all do if petrol is banned he said just use e85
