If tuned for it. It will crush 99. E30 would too if that's easier.

My Accessport is going to be here in the morning and then stratified will be getting to work on a 99 tune and a E blend tune

I know a handful of us have discussed on this thread about mixing ethanol but here is my experience with running FULL E85. All we did was upgrade the HPFP to take full advantage of the IS20. It pulls great! and no more mixing fuels!

what kind of power are you making like 320-350hp?
also, say I do this, could i still run 93 with no problems

Running full E85 in Los Angeles is a bold strategy Cotton. I can think of 1 station that could be considered "in the city" and everything else is 10-15 miles out. Worth the drive for that corn juice though.

That's what I do in central PA, I have an e30 from Strat I run in the summer months then swap to my EQT S2 93 tune for winter. Waiting for Ed to put out his e30 Base tunes for the GTI and I'll prob switch to his.

yeah im kinda a fool to be running any E but it is what it is. I have 18 gallons worth of gas containers in the garage and do a fill up here and there. Obviously I have been using less since coronvirus, but the closes E station I know of is like 40 min away

Back then it used to be like that, but now you can find stations ~15 min away from downtown

Still feels pretty light to me. Once I moved to SGV I got 2 stations within 15 mins from my house and that was a huge improvement. Nothing like OC though.

Theres another station halfway to point A from DTLA, but for the sake of it I get your point. Its not readily available like pump gas at every corner

Is this something actually happening?

I believe he has a few out there testing for him, no idea when it might be released though. Some dude that's running it posts at least a video a day to any MK7 FB group that he's a part of.
