Welcome to the Dark Side, You'll never go back. E-85 was the best Mod that I ever did to my car. It made it as fast as I always thought it should be.

I was glad to hear McCaine mention elimanating the tariff on Brazilian Sugar cane based Ethanol durring the debate tonight.

I've noticed HUGE inconsistencies with e85. One day I'll be 10:1, the next fillup I'll be 11:1 with zero changes. I think I just get bad e85 sometimes.

With a change like that from 10:1 to 11:1, what are the noticed changes other than A/F ratio? poorer performance? what if you were to get a "bad batch" or some super low percentage winter blend, and then drove it as normal, flooring it while leaving the settings the same, is there a good chance you will toast your motor or anything? Or is there a decent saftey margin since e-85 has all that good knock resistance and high octane?

[asshanson]

I think there is a decent safety margin, but one time mine would get super rich and sputter at WOT. At first I thought it was plugs or wires, but I refilled the tank after it was mostly empty and the problem went away and went back to my previous AFR of around 11.

On another note, regular is $1.62 here, while E85 remains at $1.55, not much savings, but I completely filled the tank from nearly empty for like $20, it was glorious.

Cool, thanks!
