E85 Price, Location And Ethanol Content

[RAP1D]

yep

Also there is a ethonal % meter designed to be permanently installed in the car to constantly give live ethonal read outs, a sensor in the rail and guage in the dash, perfect... I havn looked into it but someone here may know, bcl was telling me about it but I cant remember the name.

yes, we have fitted those gauges before and it is something I would recommend, but the tune will not change but the driver could know that there is a possible issue before any damage is done

From another thread:

For those who are serious, this zeitronix is the gauge to have, showing real-time E85 content.

I have posted the picture below in another thread, below from my STi:

United I have found to be extremely reliable, with variation between 85 and 87%

Eventually hopefully someone will produce an ecu upgrade that will support a full eFlex, for the Ford, without the need for multiple map switching and near tank draining.

GMH have a full factory supported version.

With my STi, the Vipec V88 ecu that I use can support a full eFlex, although I stay on 85.

Ecutek produce an ecu flash where a R35 can use e85 in eFlex mode without map switching, and Ecutek is moving towards supporting other vehicles.

I filled up with BP Ultimate 2 days ago, and it was $1.75c/L.

E85 was $1.18c/L last week

With these relative prices E85 looks good.

However, when 98 is $1.60 and E85 is $1.35 it is around the other way.

A full eFlex would be the best, so you choose based on relative price, or just stay with eFlex fuel (Caltex) or E85 if you want the extra power.
