If you were getting 35-36 before cruising should be around 30~

 

The DIC for whatever reason *never* reads correctly with the E85 tweak. If you do the mileage calculation manually you'll see it's about 15-20% off of the economy with gasoline.

Still, the price of E85 seems to be staying stable while gasoline goes up.

I paid 3.49/gal for E85 here, and premium is $4.15/gal !

 

Ouch, premium here is around 3.89 depends on were u go, E85 is 3.34 also depends on the location

 

Where did you get E85 near us, Vince? Too lazy to go looking, lol.

I'm debating whether to go this route or not. I'm trying to decide if the savings will pay back the tune, and how long that will take given the fuel mileage difference.

 

You save money on not having to do a ton of bolt ons to make your car safely fast. Thats my take

 

I'm not even concerned so much with the performance difference. The car does all I want it to do now and any added performance is a terrific bonus. $3.49 as opposed to $4.15 and climbing is what is making me consider it.

 

 

$2.99/gal here in cornsauce country. lol.

 

Don't hate I should be trapping 114 by next weekend on a car with just an airbox mod

 

you mean we because whatever you do i want haha

 

Another possibility that was brought up earlier and then Vince brought up with me today is the possiblity of going a bit leaner. It may have the benefit of more power while also letting the HPFP keep up. We'll have to dyno to find out if there's any more power still on the table though.

 

Im on corn now! so far so good but i havent done any intense pulls yet. When i get on it in first and let off it seems like it takes a while for my RPM's to fall back down... normal??

 

Are you pushing your clutch in?

 

I tried pushing it in and not pushing it in. It seems different both ways but it might just be me... lol!

 

It might be the placebo effect of you expecting something different to happen with the fuel change. Same thing happened to me when I swapped motors in my coupe. I was paranoid that it was running too hot. Then I realized that is normal temps, I was just staring at the guage all the time.

 

Yeah im thinking that's it. Cuz it feels heavier too but I think that's cuz I haven't had a full tank of gas in over a week. Lol!

 

If you are towards the south end, I found a place online in Fife, which happens to be 3 miles from me. I filled up with Premium at Chevron today and it's still $3.99 here. So being $4.15 you must be closer to the city.

 

How do I get the E85 tune and what does it cost?

 

x2 please

 

Contact Vince over at Trifecta Performance.. Can't really tell you the price!!

Ok sounds good!

 

I have the tune but I'm holding off for a few months. Also gas here is 3.75 for premi and 3.15 for e85. But Vince is the man

 

Yeah, I buy my E85 in what I believe to be the only E85 station in King County - at Snoqualmie

 

Any luck with running a bit leaner Vince?

 

Yep, I ran quite a bit leaner with 0 KR.
