Ray’s tested the station(s) down there, I’ve tested it from exit 23, I posted the chart when it changes. Good chance your shit is gonna run leaner once we get on summer blend. No worries as long it’s ~12.0 or richer IMO ---

Well OK. Whatever. My car was tuned for a margin of safety across the board. Not on the ragged edge like a lot of cars. Cars pretty rich right now. ---

Not on the ragged edge like a lot of cars. Cars pretty rich right now. Good deal, it should be fine once the higher E content blends arrive. It’ll run .5-1 points leaner if I had to guess. ---

Those little testers are fun to play with (I have one), but in-car real time ethanol monitoring is where it’s at…which I’ll have as of this Thursday. The key with E85 is tuning the car so the A/F ratio is acceptable on a range of ethanol contents. The anti-knock qualities of E70-E85 are virtually identical… ---

I need a tester. Got E85 at Altamont Ave by Friendly’s and getting a lean condition. I opened up the adjustment width for STFT and LTFT and increased Power Enrichment values to compensate. My previous tank may have been winter blend, or this tank is garbage. ---
