Alrite so i was reading something last nite that said like putting gas with ethanol (no matter the octane) will give you bad gas mileage, etc when paired up with the diablosport tuner. Now ive been running 93 octane for about a year. i noticed a considerable decrease in gas mileage but just ate it. is the cause of the bad mpg the 10% or what ethanol used at almost all gas stations nowadays?

Yeah why I switched to my 93 octane tune my gas mileage went down compared to my 87, but both used ethanol. But the only gas station in my town in sunoco and they use 10% ethanol. I need to find one near by that doesn't.
i would almost put money on it im lucky around me most still dont use ethenol idk why they put that stuff in there its so much more inefficient that i would think it would make you use more gas thus using our resources faster unless its just a ploy from the gas companies to make us use more

People that run E85 and race with it, use it for the sake of it basically being like 108 octane, but someone running 60lb injectors on gas has to run 80lb injectors on E85 to make power.

E10 is what most places have, which is a max of 10% ethanol. E85 is in VERY few places, I JUST found a gas station around here that has it. Years ago when I was looking for it, the only one close was in Houston, at NASA, and you couldn't get to it.
