Message And as you fill up at the station the content is shown and you adjust your tune if necessary using moates or something similar. If you've seen a car get tuned on e85 then you will know that its an awesome fuel. You can lower the AFR lower than you would ever want to and the motor still would not have detonation.

As more pumps start opening up and more shops use it, im sure the vp and all the other race fuels will become more and more less used.

Once the "Premier" Z shops start using it more and more, im sure they will share what they have learned and the benefits. Last year a "Premier" Z shop was convinced that you would need 40%-50% more fuel to run e85 and your gas mileage would be horrible (10mpg ) at cruising speeds. Im pretty sure that shops opinion has changed.

It's a new fuel for the Z community, give it a few years and this will be the fuel we all use ( If more pumps open up).


I use Propel E85 and their blend is very constant through the seasons a tad higher in the summer.
