E85

[rednose]

fark using e85 then.

Compared to 98 there would be hardly any difference to cost if your car is setup for it.

I do 5-600 klms a week and it costs me less than when I was on 98.

So fark using 98...lol

P100 would be best but the monkeys are now phasing it out, and with the price increase of Race Blend 98 wil be cheaper then e85 so eflex is the winner.

But its not as readily available so no win there either, gonna get a farken diesel next.

The smell is pharkin annoying after a while. Follows you everywhere.

You need a petrol tanker to follow you everywhere otherwise you are filling up every second day and you just can't fill up anywhere.

For me stop/start driving seemed to drink 25l/100km. It was very expensive for me compared to 98.

It will chew out your pumps/filters.

The bigger pumps and injectors do affect the way the car drives. I certainly don't want to listen to pumps if I can avoid it.

You have to put up with the Indian petrol station teller mumbling on about whether you have put the right fuel in your car.

Its good for a 600+rwhp beast but up to 500rwhp just stick to 98.

Someone else can put up the benefits like an increase in torque (if we havn't got enough already)

Rednose do you actually have better efficiency on 98. My car is full set up for e85. Hoses lines and all. Im going for a 98 retune so I can run 2 tunes. Definitely hoping for better mileage on 98 lol

I've found the same. When I was on 98 I was doing 13 per hundred now eflex it is at least 22. No difference in driving just more power, and my in car is telling me I'm doing 16 per hundred but it has no idea

[Rydeit]

My trip is saying im doing 13 per hundred on e85. Which is complete bs in my opinion. Do these computers adapt when u change pumps and fuel etc? Or is it a generic approximate. Always wanted to know

No I don't have better efficiency nor do I get better mileage, but being that e-flex is nearly 40c per litre cheaper it costs me similar money to run the car.

The ICC is programmed to suit the standard injectors so it will not read true if you have changed your injectors.

[Rydeit]

Interesting. Im guessing it doesnt take into account e85 either

[gaz097]

Programmed against injector duration?

[IH8TOADS]

Mine reads as true on e85 as it does on PULP. It should be ballpark.

Does anyone know if the tune needs to be touched up once they roll out the race blend E85 .
