Is E85 For Me?

12132942

E85 Benefits
More Potential Power: we’ll start with the good stuff first—E85 has an octane rating of 100 to 105, which is 9 to 14 points higher than the 91 octane premium fuel found in many stations. E85 can support lots of boost for forced-induction engines, and crazy high compression ratios in N/A applications. Always a good thing.

Better Cooling: ethanol absorbs over twice as much heat during combustion as gasoline does, which makes it a much more efficient cooling agent than gas.

Cleaner Burning: engines burning ethanol leave fewer carbon deposits on valves and pistons. The exhaust actually smells better, too.

Smoother Power Delivery: one often heard comment from E85 consumers is, “Wow, the engine just runs so much smoother.”.

Reports of Your Fuel System’s Demise Are Greatly Exaggerated: E85 has been has been gradually introduced in larger and larger quantities into our gasoline since as early as the late 90's, many enthusiasts who’ve done long-term E85 testing have reported few to no fuel system issues on even straight E85. Will every fuel system part last 200,000 miles on the E85? Probably not. But it likely won’t last that long on gas either.

E85 Drawbacks

Moisture Can Cause Problems: alcohol is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture—so E85 introduces more water into your fuel system. This isn’t a huge problem in modern fuel systems, but older vehicles with stock fuel systems can see accelerated corrosion unless upgraded. Most cars built since the late 90's have Ethanol compatible fuel lines and components.

Slight Fuel Economy Losses: E85 has roughly a third less energy than gasoline, which means that it takes more E85 to equal gas’ power.  However, a modern vehicles with aftermarket E85 tuning can return mpg ratings within spitting distances of their factory gas ratings.

Fewer Places to Fill Up: Unless you live in the Midwest, finding E85 used to be challenging, especially if you’re on a road trip in unfamiliar territory. More and more stations are now offering this fantastic fuel and apps are dedicated to help you find it. However, this is where converting to "flex fuel" capability really shines over a dedicated "E85 tune". Having the ability to switch between gas and E85 automatically on the fly makes this a non-issue. This holds especially true for seasonal blend changes and eliminates the need for "testing" ethanol content at the pump, simply fill up and the flex sensor tell the PCM to adjust the tune based on content.
