Follows you everywhere.You need a petrol tanker to follow you everywhere otherwise you are filling up every second day and you just can't fill up anywhere.For me stop/start driving seemed to drink 25l/100km. It was very expensive for me compared to 98.It will chew out your pumps/filters.The bigger pumps and injectors do affect the way the car drives. I certainly don't want to listen to pumps if I can avoid it.You have to put up with the Indian petrol station teller mumbling on about whether you have put the right fuel in your car.Its good for a 600+rwhp beast but up to 500rwhp just stick to 98.Someone else can put up the benefits like an increase in torque (if we havn't got enough already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is full set up for e85. Hoses lines and all. Im going for a 98 retune so I can run 2 tunes. Definitely hoping for better mileage on 98 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was on 98 I was doing 13 per hundred now eflex it is at least 22. No difference in driving just more power, and my in car is telling me I'm doing 16 per hundred but it has no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is complete bs in my opinion. Do these computers adapt when u change pumps and fuel etc? Or is it a generic approximate. Always wanted to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely hoping for better mileage on 98 lolNo I don't have better efficiency nor do I get better mileage, but being that e-flex is nearly 40c per litre cheaper it costs me similar money to run the car.I've found the same.
