Ethanol Petrol

[ozwinner]

Interesting note for those that say they get better economy on ethanol blended fuels. At the local BP there is a sign on the e10 pumps that say "usage of ethanol blended fuel may cause increased fuel consumption". :confused:

Personally found that my car does not run better on e10, but my ute does ??????

I havent done a fuel economy run, when I do I take the averages over a couple of months.
Some days the yoot is loaded right up, some days its almost empty, so a couple of months minimum for the econo test.

But it does respond better.

When I lived down south I used E10 fuel in my commodore with no ill effects and it actually seemed more responsive. I found that in ran realy well if I mixed half a tank of regular unleaded with half a tank of the higher octane E10 blend.

In the last issue of street machine mag, they did dyno tests of V8 commodore with std PULP and E10, E10 did add a few Hp at the rear wheels std but when the reprogramed the computer (to adjust supply and timing to motor) the Hp went though the roof, cost of reprograming under $200.00 bucks, can not wait for E10 to hit Syds servos i ll be off to the performace shop to get my Gen 3 V8 reprogramed. more power for free (well almost)
