Winter blend gas and E/85

[MDesign Performance]

Hey guys just some advice, to get a good estimate of how much gas you currently have in the tank divide your 'Miles to E' by your average miles per gallon. I used this to determine how many gallons of e85 I needed to hit e20 which is what I've been running 2 tanks so far with great results. The engine really sings and shifts are improved.

The big girl is just vicious with these 40 degree ambients....The throttle response is amazing, like my foot has a direct connection to the motor. Power? Hell yeah, 70 mph in the rain last night breaking tires loose.

As an added bonus, looking like I'm gonna wind up at 21 MPG this tank.

What gear were you in, FoMoCo?

NICE!!!

The wife driving home last night was playing around and breaking em loose at 50 quite easily in the wetness.

Cruising at 72, downshifted to third I'm assuming to pass.

I was unexpectedly busy so I wasn't looking at my wall o'gauges.

How accurate is the fuel % equation in torque? Does it hit 0% when there are still 2 gallons left in the tank like the fuel gauge in the car does or is 0% out of fuel? If it works properly using it would be the best way to ensure proper blending otherwise it could result in improper blending.

Mine seems to be about a gallon off. If I use the gauge and an E85 calculator I have to lie about how much gas is in the tank.

So my resusts of 2 stroke oil are turning out to be awesome. I'll get some proof this weekend on a 400 mile trip.

Yay!  Had us all on pins & needles with this little "experiment".  Mo details, mo bettah

Think this would mix well with a full synthetic like Mobil1? Also what brand do you use?

Thanks and enjoy the trip!

I'm using Royal purple synthetic 2 stroke oil. So far I found I need to cut my dosage back. For the first 160 miles there were hills that would require around 4-6 psi of boost in 6th gear. On those hills I was getting knock around 2-3°. So I filled the car with 8 gallons of 91 (all I could fit). On the last leg of the trip the knock was no longer there on the hill climbs. So 1 ounce for every 5 gallon is to much. I'm going to cut the dose in half next tank.

Look forward to your next report, wasinger

I was running 2 gallons of E85 and the rest of the tank with 93. Went to fill up yesterday and I did 1 gallon E85 and 13.4 gallons of 93. Driving today my learned octane ratio on torque is about 106 but off the line sometimes my knock says -0.2 and others it says 4.5. Whats up with this I'm running a 93 tune so I shouldn't have any knock with E85 should I? Also if I accelerate hard in 5th or 6th gear (S mode and slowly put pedal to the floor) I get about 3-4 knock which I think should be normal, let me know if it isn't.
