Yeah I've read/heard that there's issues with its absorbing water if it sits too long ?

I filled up at United Osborne Park this morning at E85 was $1.33 litre. Very happy with performance gains and the way the engine runs now since the change-over. No issues with cold starts yet either but it is summer now. My first tank used 33 litres and I got 210kms out of it.
RUSSGT, DZENCI, MY00GC8 and 1 others like this.
