Pretty sure Dave said it's only marginally worse and at 30-40 cents a litre cheaper is it really more expensive to run ?

The E85 fuel change update is the stock ecu learning has seen throttle response improved a bit more and the fuel use is stable at around 250 kms of city driving per tank. The foz goes like stink and my logging tells me the engine is loving the change. Not one cel thrown since the change of fuel and the power gain is the bonus. Loving it

If you have tuned dak dak (gc8 eccepted) and live close to a United Petroleum station that sells E85 then it is a no brainer I reckon.

Ummmm ... Usually I'm full of wisdom but off the top of my head ...

Google says closest stores with E85 are Osborne Park, Padbury, Armadale and Lexia (where ever that new wonderland of suburbia is).

So no where SOR essentially but you could fit 4-5 jerry cans in the boot and spend 20l getting there and back for each fill.

Some freeway kms would give me better economy again but I just dont get the opportunity. I am just taking several 20 ltr jerry cans of corn juice to collie to get me thru the weekend.
