What is better E85 or race gas?

E85 fuel can give you a significant boost in power and torque without breaking the bank for racing fuels. It has a base octane rating of 105 and has the bonus of added cooling properties that add even more knock resistance than racing fuels with the same rating.

Does E85 produce carbon monoxide?

E85 (or flex fuel)—a high-level, gasoline-ethanol blend—is less volatile than gasoline and low-level ethanol blends and results in lower evaporative emissions. Emissions of primary concern include hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), air toxics, and CO2.
