Gas

I wouldn't say it's all bad, if it was at my racetrack I would use it over other options. Higher Octane and runs just a little bit cooler.

The article I added, seems to disspel a lot of Ethanol rumours. How much truth there is to that? Unsure, as it is written by a Corn grower association.

After learning a TON with Seb doing the logging for my flex-fuel tune, the benefits of using E in extreme heat is so obvious. in 90F ambient, my car will retard timing by quite a bit to protect itself on 93, but something like E75 i saw absolutely no timing correction. Also thanks to my dash, i get digital readouts for the coolant temp and i would say it does seem to run a tad cooler, but im talking 1-2 degrees F.

Not to mention my car doesnt smell. (even with the LTH-HFC setup). I don't think there's any good reason to run test pipes with better HFC technology now unless you're doing competitive racing.
