Any problems with varnish? Do you need to add a stabilizer to the fuel?

I’m sorry for the stupid questions, I really don’t anything about it other than it’s cheap as s*** down here.

I believe e85 is 108 octane. Most pump e85 has a lower ethanol content though. My tuner (Seb) recommends running a tank of (in my case, 91) every once in a while to clean out the system. No additives otherwise.

108??!! That’s incredible. I had no idea, seriously!

This is like finding out about masturbation for the first time again....

But, legally, most stations can run as low as e72 which is going to be lower octane. Fortunately for me, there's a Propel station close to me that has close to e85 according to my ethanol gauge. There's closer station to me that can go as low as e59 according to what they have printed on their pump. I don't use that station.My car made 167whp more on e85 than it did on 91 octane.

Now, about your masturbation issue......

I find this incredible. Why am I not running corn oil now?

Well, good news is I’m not blind, I only need glasses, but shaving my palms every other day is a PITA...
