EDIT: This is with my stock FR-S. Using e-85 or FI, even a tune might change the most effective parts of the powerband. That said, still seems unnecessary to me.
I've been driving since 15k with E85 & 93oct (currently at 65k), the difference is there every time I switch fuels. It could be just my car, the mods and the way I drive. I think since E85 makes the engine less lazy it's easier for me to shift.
