On my misses car I fill it with around e20 if I'm around my local United

10l of e85 the over 50 with 91

Works well for us

Car seems to like it as well but I think that may be the placebo effect

any body considering missing fuels should really invest in an ethanol content gauge, don't rely on the test tube method, you need to know what the percentage is in the fuel system and make sure you have a tune for that

Used to buy BP100 in drums, $40 for 20L, 13B turbo had no problem swallowing 2 barrels in a day of spirited driving.

20 Years later and I'm paying less for better fuel straight from the pump.

Before it was at the bowser. In the mid to late 80s I use to go to the jandakot airport in Perth on the weekend and the guy would fill me jerry cans with AVGAS on the tarmac. BP100 rings a bell. I think it was about 70c per litre

No. It's a camry

Ethanol at 20% hasn't changed the formulation that much.

It'll run only slightly leaner

I worked it out but I don't have the calculations on me.

The calorific value isn't outside the margin of error and correct me if I'm wrong but most fuel injected cars can compensate and add extra fuel

On the g6 I find myself running on 98 more than e85 just because it's driven on the freeway a lot more than the fun twistys
