Ethanol Content? E85 Falling to E54?
So, within the last month the state’s (Arizona) passed some legislation that in part lowers the ethanol content from E85 to E54. Many local people have already chimed in stating that ethanol content levels have already dropped to 50-60%...
I’ve heard a couple of opinions on what type of impact this’ll have on performance, some people said little impact, and others have said we should see a 25-40whp drop in power. I’m expecting the latter, especially since I’m pretty much maxing out my single GT35R.
Anyone else seeing similar drops in ethanol content in their locality? I’m curious what this is going to mean when I get my car back on the dyno now…

Its because the representative are tires of all the evo killing eveeyone out here.
Haha but on a serious, RIP to all the evo and sti guys. I know e85 is a HUGE dependency for cheap power with them.

One of my customers just got his VHR tuned on E70. Doesn't look like it is a hinderence to power:
