Basically it depends who tunes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. Valet tune when you leave your car somewhere, E85 tune, Max power 98, high power 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the ~35 petrol stations within 10km's of me, I can't think of a single one with E85 and none of the ones on the way to work (at least 3 of each Caltex, Shell, 7-Eleven and a couple Independent) have it either.Valet tune can be useful if you drop it off for a service for example. It would be good if you could log what happened with the car too so you knew if they tried to thrash it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'd give the car with that tune to my mechanic, agree exactly what you say.But at the same time, wouldn't mind having some sort of logger to see what they did lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
