E-85

[1SS]

I'm thinking about building an E-85 engine for my 72 K10, but I only have one station in my area that sells it and it is 25 miles away from my house. However, I drive right by that station everyday when I am going to and from work. The average cost of E-85 is about 3.13 a gallon, and premium gas is about 3.60 a gallon. I am rebuilding a 4 bolt 350 either way and plan on puting an edelbrock fuel injustion system on it. The 2 drawbacks that I see is that the only station by me is almost 30 miles form my house, and I have to run atleast 11.0:1 compression which means if I might have problems with detination if I ever have to use regular gasoline for what ever reason. Some of the benifits is the added horsepower and fuel economy of running 112 octane fuel and haveing such high compression. What do you all think, is it worth the trouble or not?
