Gotta get more people to switch to it, what's so bad about having to fill jerry cans if you live far away and short trips between the servo, tyre shop and drag strip?

Any brighter than the end of May? no better. still job hunting. been applying for a few jobs with no replies. typical. Hardghatmedia had a dream job advertised since mid May and I applied for it. IT, Electrical maintenance, Digital Photography and Drone flying all in one job. Just what I am in to lately and guess what. not a single email or confirmation. Life does deal you lemons sometimes but you gotta make coolaid instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't we want pure 98 and pure E85? Isn't EFlex just a poor mans PULP (that can go wrong)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is the percentage changes with the season so you have to have a semi-conservative tune as compared to the consistency of E85 from United.

Or is it the 98 with ethanol%? Too many options, too many ways to put the wrong one in the tank :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,034 Member For: 16y 8m 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/06/19 02:00 PM Share Posted 14/06/19 02:00 PM The old P100 fuel from United was the 10% ethanol and 90% PULP The newer 98 from United may or may not have 5% ethanol in it now, but didn't when P100 existed. E10 is just cheap arse ULP with 10% ethanol that almost any modern car can run no worries and sells reasonably well as it's slightly cheaper than ULP. Most people don't realise it actually gets worse fuel economy which ruins the cheaper status of it in the first place. Flex Fuel cars can run any percentage blend of ethanol and P/ULP without you needing to flash a tune for the blend percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
