Nope - completely unnecessary if you know how to read a wideband & have an accurate system (I have a Techedge 2J - same as All Star use on every tune) & the difference between E85 & E70 is 3 octane points i.e Fuck all.
Australian E85 standard excerpt From
https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Search/E85:
"E85, as it is commonly known worldwide,
is a blend of between 70 and 85 per cent by volume ethanol and the remainder petrol. In summer, internationally, E85 contains 85 per cent ethanol.
In mild climates, such as much of Australia, E85 usually contains 70 per cent ethanol in the winter months as the larger petrol component allows cold starts. For very cold winters overseas, the ethanol proportion is lowered to 50 per cent. Despite the seasonal variation in the ethanol proportion, the fuel is still typically referred to internationally as ‘E85’."
Sorry to break it to you RJ, there is no problem with the fuel. The octane rating is no lower than 105 (E70) and no higher that 108 (E85) in Australia.
