    What E85/93 Blend are you using for Daily Driving?

    Ive seen this topic brought up on many different threads, but it seems to be aimed more around track/drag Blends. Im lucky enough to have a Super Walmart less than 1/4 mile away that carries E85/E15/93. I typically blend in about 2 gallons for every full tank.

    What about you?

    Typically walmart gas (murphy's) is some of the worst fuel we've tested... Just an fyi.

    On your pulley set-up, I would not go above E25 on a GIAC file at the moment until they revise a few fuel tables (in the works).

    Thanks Loe, what would you suggest? I started doing it this month and noticed a (positive)difference right away.

    Ditto. No issues and a noticeable benefit in hot weather.

    Yes, I have logs from the car I was tuning. Correction factors were double on murphys/walmart over I believe BP.

    Edit:

    Was curious to see if any other enthusiast community had documented this.... first google search return.

    Thanks for the heads up, if you can share any hard data that would be awesome. I will do some more research around it.
