"Give it some gas." That's what some people say when they want to go faster. But the automotive engineering students at Minnesota State University (MSU) in Mankato know better. They say, "Give it some E85." High performance is critical to these engineers-in-training, because they compete against other college teams in events such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Collegiate Design Competitions.
Recently, the competitions have allowed the use of E85. "We were lobbying for higher concentrations of ethanol for a long time," said MSU Professor Bruce Jones, who works closely with the student teams as they prepare for competitions. "We knew definite performance gains could be made. Whenever there's an ability to use E85, the students use it. Hands down, it's a better fuel."
