Re: Map of stations that have non-oxygenated gas

The oxygenate used in our fuel is ethanol, which doesn't really hinder performance hardly at all or make the fuel burn faster, anyone who says it does is misinformed or mistaken.It does make the fuel burn with slightly less emissions and helps prevent water in the fuel.It also will slightly alter stoich by a few tenths and cause a very minor loss in power, but since the octane rating is higher and alchohol fuels are far more efficient than hydrocarbon fuels, you can turn the boost/timing adv UP a little to more than make up for the power/MPG loss.The slight difference in stoich will be compensated for by ECU in closed loop and will run a few tenths leaner in open loop, not a problem and definately not worth going out of your way for non-oxygenated fuel.
