My cam also holds a lot of cylinder pressure so it is more sensitive to fuel changes and we have the summer blend crap. I personally have never seen the e85 at the pump actually be 85%. Most of the time it is around 78-80% according to my flex fuel sensor.

Right now I drive it daily but I work pretty close to home. I may get a cheapo daily soon though and I can keep the Z on better Tire.
Man that sucks...Here in NY I only had that problem in the winter months. The hardcore guys around here actually buy their fuel from Ohio and bring them back in drums
