Jay Leno & E85

No new information that the guys running E85 know, but entertaining video

Here's one of Leno's Corvette running E85

Simon, do have a date on this video? I could not find any info on Jay's site as to when this was taped.

Just found the answer - Aug 16, 2007. Thanks Google!

I did a search for Gale Banks and E85 and turned up nothing, even on his own web site. I'm curious if E85 is something Gale is still planning to get into? Or, if E85 is something he has already given up on?

Simon, what are you trying to show me? I still don't see any info re: Gale Banks and E85.

Seems like he's been in the turbocharging business for longer than I have even existed. So, I'm guessing running some sort of alcohol fuel is not new to him.

Everything on the Bank's web site is about diesel. Gale Banks is considered to be the top diesel tuner in the country. That's why I was so surprised by the Jay Leno E85 interview.

Most of the innovations in turbocharging come from the diesel world...
