    Question: Future of fuel for the corvette

    Regular unleaded here in northwest indiana is now at 4.14 and e-85 is been @2.99 for the last 2 1/2 months. I work at a dealership and my demo is an e-85. If I fuel with reg unleaded and add e-85 at a 1/2 tank, then reg unleaded again at 1/2....just rotate the fuels I dont lose the fuel economy...
