E15 Officially Approved

Yes higher ethonal content if octane rating is higher is a good thing for high compression or blown motors. The downside will be worse fuel economy as you need to

Yes higher ethonal content if octane rating is higher is a good thing for high compression or blown motors. The downside will be worse fuel economy as you need to spray more ethonal to get same AFR. Our cars won't benefit from e15.

If you converted to turbo setup and ran injectors and tune for e85 you'd have one fast car but for most of us average drivers it's not good when they start putting more ethonol in our gas. Worse mileage is about all we get.
