Random serious question,
What if say HP V8s and turbos cars were tuned to accept a mix of E85 and regular fuel? About a 33% mix would add plenty of Octane to sustain high compression or high boost... On another tack, I remember Ford and Michigan Institute were toying with "Bobcat" project which consisted of High boost Port injected engine running on normal fuel but supported by E85 acting as a detonation suppressant via Direct Injection fule system - Ford indicating only around 3% volume of E85 is needed per volume of regular fuel under full boost/load conditions. Massive amounts of torque and horsepower were discovered but the cost of two fuel systems was more than the cost of making diesel engines compliant to the US EPA emission regulations..
