I might at some point buy a Stage 1 that allows E-85 in my '07. I also have a '99 which cannot be upgraded.
I suspect the oil companies are mixing lower cost ethanol into their regular gas to boost octane and then charge for premium. But for every 10% of ethanol used the energy content of the gasoline reduces by 3%. This leave me thinking I'm better paying a little more at a Shell station for pure 100% gasoline until such time as I convert my car to burn e-85.
Another part of me wants fells obliged to burn gasohol regardless of the economic consequence if it can help us reduce dependency on foreign oil.
Even so, it would be good to know what other gasoline brands are pure gas. I've learned you cannot trust the pump to list that info.
