E85?



I think you have to inject ~40% more fuel when using E85 vs normal unleaded.
Check out some of the timing and boost they were running with these trials -

Hmm, so I read a bit about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85
And it turns out that there is normally a power loss as compared to gasoline
(lower energy density), but a high compression turbo saab claims better
mileage/performance on E85, so...
Does that mean we could theoretically go aftermarket EFI + turbo + stock CR
16v???
Corn.. Err. I mean food for thought.
