Probably E-85 or better. Perhaps pure Ethenol. I know I get about 2-4 mpg less in my Bronco when I fill up with E-85, but it burns hotter (due to spark advance) so I run it every now and then to help keep carbon at bay in the ol' 5.8L. I dont know if this actually works, but someone told me it did and Oregon gives you a $0.50 per gallon tax credit to use the crap, so why not...
