[QUOTE="1wild-horse, post: 13683148, member: 84197"] You know most regular fuel is already at least a 10% blend and the government has been trying to pass a mandate for 15%. Closed loop driving is probably not a problem but if you run a lot of boost and are tuned on the edge adding a leaner fuel to the mix is only going to make things worse for you. Why risk burning down a cylinder for a few points of octane to resist detto when lean fuel is just as dangerous? You are not gaining anything. It's like this: Add E85 to increase protection from detonation: Detonation damage=hole in piston Leans out fuel in the process: Too lean of mixture damage=hole in piston. The end result is the same. If you are I would add a few points to your WOT fuel table just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
