E85

[swathdiver]

you need larger injectors for corn, and the boost, so what ever injector they offer in the kit is likely to small.

im sure you can get larger injectors and tune for corn with the sc regardless what the install directions say.

I would have thought that they would make the kit so it could run on E85 and really wring the horsepower out of the whole setup!

im seeing e85 canned tunes out there, so with the growing popularity of e85, in time im sure they will offer a e85 kit with a tune for it.

I can't get over all these gas stations popping up that are only selling 87 and various grades of ethanol. They are not packed like a corner store or WaWa or RaceTrac. I think these folks are part of Uncle Sam's subsidies and goal of opening more station across the country. This program was put in place during the last Administration and probably codified into law so this current administration cannot touch it. crazy.

Are you guys seeing prices going up these last few days?

I haven't checked the price of E85 lately as I am preparing for my update on the 89 tune.

Same. Been running 89 for winter since I tuned it.

Seems like it's been the same price as regular for a while. I stopped getting it until it's .30 or so cheaper

E85 is still the same price near me, $1.649

Filled up yesterday. Gauge was on about 1/8 and the DIC showed 21.9 gallons used and it took almost 25 to fill it up.... lol

This is how mine is every time on gas. If i run e85, it's accurate.

 

[swathdiver]

Around here, they went up to $1.99-$2.10 for most of them and have stayed there for a few weeks. Then there's WaWa that's real proud of their offering for $2.83 and then some little station in an out of the way area in Jensen Beach for near $4 a gallon.

Running E30 and the DIC is averaging 14.4 mpg right now, all city driving with about 40 minutes of idling, not bad so far.

i think the fuel line material is different too

Got gas today. Price for E85 went up to $1.80 gal from the $1.65 gal it's been for a while. Premium 93 octane is at $2.47 gal.

Prices went up 25-30 cents a gallon here as well. E85 is around $1.80 and premium $2.55

Not sure if you use the GasBuddy app but they also have a payment option now. Saves 5 cents a gallon at nearly any station. Ties straight to your checking account.

That's cool, too far from me though!

Anyone trying or tried E30? Last 4 tanks averaged 14.78 MPG with alcohol content between 20% and 25%. Twelve previous tanks of 93 without towing averaged 14.78 MPG. Without excessive idling she averaged on 9 of those twelve 15.11 MPG.

The biggest difference is in cost per mile driven; 15 cents a mile versus 23 cents a mile. You know how much that is over the course of a 5,000 oil change? Four Hundred Bucks Less!

Do you blend e85 with regular gas to get e30?

No, purchase it from a Sunoco station in the county. I think they blend it though, the alcohol content has been different almost every time! It's not supposed to be less than 25% alcohol and one tank was 20% and another 23%. I liked the 20% blend as it gave good power and better mileage. Current tank is 26%.

Yes, you can do it that way instead of trying to find a station that offers lower percentage mixes. Thing is, what's listed at the pump will be the maximum ethanol percentage (E30 = maximum 30% ethanol). IIRC the actual ethanol percentage is usually less and is dependent on how they mix it.

EDIT: here in Colorado E85 is not generally available, and I've never seen Sunoco around here, nor a station that offers blends other than E10 and E85. Of course, the E85 mix could be E60. It is what it is.

Just filled up for $2.75/gal. California sucks. Premium is $3.79.
