A little extra E

[its_stock]

Has anyone experimented with adding a few extra percent Ethanol in the tank during fill up?
I am finding my car is much happier at E35 than E30. Especially on hot AF AZ days.

I have his ECG and I see less corrections when running between E35-E40, plus it saves me a little money lol. I believe most tuners factor in +\-10% Eth content. I usually shoot for around E35, I’m in Texas so the heat is a killer here too.

running a gallon of ethanol with a full tank on a regular tune will not hurt anything . It fact it will lead to less chances of knock . It’s especially good to do in areas of high heat.

I've done it, it's fine.

Just today I was in the area of the ONE E85 Wawa station within 50 miles of me, and I put about 2.25 gallons in a full tank of 93 E10 Sunoco, and it is fine even on a factory tune and snail.

Sadly, I guess because they know that they have the ONLY E85 in a 60 mile radius, the price has now gone up to $3.10 a gallon, almost twice what stations get for it in most mid western states, where it is plentiful, if not available at EVERY single pump.

E85 here in Texas is usually the cheapest fuel.

Paid $2.25 today for E. $3.10 is what I paid for 93 here in SATX lol

If I could run E85 and make like stock HP I would. According to Jason the fuel pumps can't keep up. I'm curious though since it seems to be safe to lean out E85 a lot more than gas.

Had the same thoughts, I get consistent enough E85 to make it work. We'd likely have to do HPFP and injectors at the minimum

I misCalculated a couple weeks ago and ended up with 40% estimated. Didn't notice an real difference. Still hit max boost with proper advanced timing correction. Put in a gallon of 93 to level out after i burned through some. The mpg on E is definitely noticeable lol
