I do time attack events and track days. So ran all the 93 out of the car and filled with VP racing X85, loaded the new tune and car runs great. However, the VP racing 5 gallon can of X85 is around $60 ($12 per gallon). My local station has flex fuel that I tested. Shows around 70% ethanol. VP racing also has X98 in the 5 gallon metal can. Was think of mixing half pump flex fuel with half X98 to achieve a mix close to E85. Cost would then be around $7 per gallon. Could save me around $300 per track weekend and then would have half the number of those metal cans to take to recycle. Was planning to use the VP plastic 5 gallon jug and fill half with pump flex then half with X98, then fill the car from the plastic Jug. Any issues there? Will the two fuels mix well enough just from the pouring both into the VP jug and then into the car?
I usually put about 5 to 7 gallons into the car for each session or whatever It needs to keep the tank full.
It would be nice to save some money but performance is most important so may not be worth it if the fuels won’t mix properly.
