Message - Car will run leaner (less energy content in the fuel) so would expect that the ECU mappings would need to change?

- Can't say if any of the injectors for our cars will hold up OK with this concentration? Maybe the newer styles will be OK -- not sure if they were designed with this type of fuel in mind?

- High concentrations of ethanol is corrosive to certain metals. Since our Z's were designed before this higher fuel concentation was available - can't say for sure that the metal fuel lines, fuel pump, gas tanks, fuel rails, etc won't have some problems?

If you are up to it -- give it a try and let us know how things go over some period of time. Would be an interesting study to watch...
