I think it will remix accordingly.... Edited 06/10/10 09:27 AM by fordriver1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent experienced any probs yet, but would always recommend anyone talk to their tuners regarding potential problems with e85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
