E85 Blend

Does anyone know when the summer blend of E85 will start showing up at the pumps?

Re: E85 Blend

i just use whatever they got at the pump lil. Then i watch the air fuel ratio gauge and make small corrections to the table using the apexi neo and i never get it until the weather has been warmer then 55 for a couple weeks..

Re: E85 Blend

I hate looking at that chart, it depresses me. Seriously, why is august considered cold enough to have the e78 blend at the end of the month, or beginning of june for that matter?

Re: E85 Blend

I don't know how much the gas stations really follow that chart. I got my car running in late September and the gas station I usually get my e85 from said it was still e85 in the pumps and they haven't switched over to any sort of winter blends, they also said this into very early October. Who really knows if the manager I asked had any idea what I was talking about though.

Has anybody else ever asked to see what blends the gas stations have in their tanks? Maybe I'm way off base

Re: E85 Blend

Merkzu has an ethanol content display, and the sensor installed. I know a bunch of people bought the displays in the group buy but never bought a sensor for it.

Although if Brandon is making mid 500s hp on the winter blend, I guess it can't be that bad.

Re: E85 Blend

One of these days I'll hook up that Ethanol gauge that I bought from him. Just wish someone would come out with a sensor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
