This would be a 30% mix (E30). So mixing 3 gallons of 113 with 7 gallons 87. Then you can do your cost benefit calculations.The cost per mile will never be in your favor on E85 vs regular/87. Our numbers are 'RON'. Just had a new "blender" e85 station pop-up a block from my house. … This would be a 30% mix (E30). just a tight wad, I guess.But, this is rather interesting discussion with pics......... Might want to rethink that "corn squeezins" position.....My original thought process was that if I see a reduction in winter blend 87 octane, about 2-3 mpg with the gas and cold temps, that will bring me closer to the mileage I would see with e85.
! Knock occurs when fuel is prematurely ignited in the engine’s cylinder, … You would have to test the exact octane rating, I think it's not possible at all to calculate it. I asked the station manager and he said it was "winter Blend" from what I have read, if the pump says E10 it has to be 10% or less... any thoughts?we have one e85 station in my county.
General motors posts different horsepower ratings for a vehicle using regular fuel (87 Octane) and one using E85 (100 Octane).
No octane ratings on the e10,e20,e30 pumps.as far as i know, all E85 you buy is blended right at the pump by mixing a certain amount of ethanol with 87 octane gasoline.
I am located in North Little Rock, Arkansas, asking $23,900. At the price you quoted seeing, E85 is probably not a good deal. He probably could have gone mid 12's but his 60 ft's were in the high 1.9x range. There are a lot of variables. The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. But would it be of any benefit for me to use E85/E70? Seeing as most 91 octane (around here anyway) contains 10% ethanol (e10). the blender pumps just let you choose how much to mix in it.i didn't change a thing, other than pulling up to a different pump.For the vast majority of retail sites, E85 is blended at the fuel terminal and in the underground storage tank at the station. So it is off my list of fuels to buy. You are however only restricted to premium if you a running a chip that retards your timing...lower octane fuel would cook off under high compression and cause knocking in your engine, and i'm not sure if the M20 engine had any knock sensors in its cylinder head.This is wrong in all kinds of ways. You must log in or register to reply here. Does the higher blend fuel require that much more adjustment and fuel?now you got me lookin around the e85 forum. I believe the Ecotec with flex fuel engine's performance improves with higher octane gasoline. E85 will never be in your favor?
I know I get poor gas mileage in the winter on my 5.3 simply because of the way they are set up and the winter blend of gas. Its an 06 silverado 5.3l Flex Fuel Crew Cab with stock winter wheels. But you'll pick up a little power which to me is worth the trade off.
Many early production autos, especially Ford, were built to use ethanol. held back) to allow the piston to compress the fuel/air mixture even further before it is cooked off. Corn is but one source of ethanol production, but not the only one. Found this online when researching to convert my 02 Silverado over to E85. 92.2 (E20) 89.8 (e10). That shows, that when the price spread is good enough, it can be more cost effective to use E85 over regular gas.
E20 and E30 would be blended by the dispesner using the 87 regular (E10) and E85.e20 is 92, e 30 is 95 octane. It is logical that octane ratings of 89, 91,and 94 would come in between these two. It is a little dated since it was published in 2011 but explains a good bit in detail.
It's hard to comeby anything over 91 around here unless you go to e85 which obly a few select stations have that are around me.
The Silverado was getting 14 mpg on E85 for a net cost per mile of ballpark 20.5 cents a mile.The same Silverado, got around 17 mpg on gas, for a net cost of ballpark 23 cents a mile. That is my break point. From buying research to owner support, join 1.5 MILLION GM Truck Enthusiasts every month who use GM-Trucks.com as a daily part of their ownership experience.

I live in Michigan, grand rapids area, where it has been between 32 F and 8 F lately if that helps at all. Has been cared for very well! the monitor showed 28% alc.
I come up with 94.8 octane. In that case, don't use the stuff. Octane E04 Kicking off the first set of qualifiers for Bad Company III, Adrenaline E70 hosted teams both in and outside of 4CW live from Glasgow, Scotland. For the vast majority of retail sites, E85 is blended at the fuel terminal and in the underground storage tank at the station. Using premium fuel in a vehicle designed for regular fuel is often referred to as a waste of money and no benefit to performance. In order to give people a better understand of say E50 versus a 50% mix of E85 or E70...I did a chart to show the differences. I was not sure if in the winter time it would be more advantageous to use e85, instead of winter blend 87 octane. And another useless fact: Perth (my home town) is the smallest city in the WORLD that gets photo-chemical smog. That is why I like a flex fuel vehicle.
I too am wondering about this. Seeing as most 91 octane (around here anyway) contains 10% ethanol (e10). This mid-level ethanol content fuel, with a research octane number (RON) of about 100, appears to enable efficiency improvements in a I run my older cars on 98 not so much for performance but to compensate (I hope) for no lead.
