RETed will become famous soon enough
Don't believe the hype - it's a sequel...

Ethanol's BTU content is lower than gasoline.
This is why you need MORE ethanol versus the same amount of gasoline to make the same power.
Ethanol tends to settle out with any mixture with gasoline.
This is not a problem when you don't let it sit around, like for more daily drivers.
It's a BIG problem when you don't drive your vehicle every day - I know some of us don't.
Go talk to boat owners about this - they will tell you the real deal.

The U.S. federal government (and others) have been hyping the use of ethanol to get away from dependence on fossil fuels, but there are drawbacks...
Farmers have converted their farm lands to raise crops to make ethanol - usually corn.
These crops require higher use of fertilizers and chemicals - runoff's are increased.
Did you notice the increase of grocery items?
Especially anything based on WHEAT?
Bakery items such as bread?
Wheat farm lands have been converted to crops for ethanol, so wheat production has dropped.
Lower supply...higher prices.
The price for wheat and wheat products have basically doubled before all this ethanol crap.
So stuff like bread prices went up cause of the wheat flour prices going up.

Lesse...use ethanol which has lower BTU content...less miles per tank of gas...wheat prices go up...environment gets screwed...

Wow, that sound so much more superior...

...not.

I got no problem with you asking about E85 tuning.
I have a problem when you spew propaganda which do not tell you the whole truth.
