I was just going to use E85.
You are fine, as long you dont floor it after filling the tank.
Let the engine "re-learn"

Edit:
My opinion is, if you can get it at pumps, I think you should give it a try. It's not a huge investment, right?

There might not be as big of a cost as we're thinking, but it's a little confounded for me because of the gallons/litres switch.

Here, a gallon of 93 is ~$2.10-2.30 a gallon. Flex is $1.79 a gallon.

I cant get it at the pumps that's why I am shipping it in. I might just go with meth injection

$1.70 a liter is $6.40 a gallon. THAT is why I think he is out of his mind!

I am pretty sure you are already doing meth with some of these plans!

If you don't have a tuning option already it's about $1000, half that if you already have OFT or ecutek license. Motoeast and Delicious both have great kits available. With gas bring cheap right now it costs more to run e85 than premium. Once Trump shuts down the Saudi pipeline I expect they will raise the cost of oil again. Then ethanol will again be cheaper. I think the transition spot is somewhere around 3.50$ per gallon of premium

I think tonight I've said the most romantic thing I've ever said in my life. I told the woman that even though the last restaurant she picked for us to eat at had an awful beer menu, I'd drink coors light all night if it meant I could spend time with her.

For what it's worth, I've tried around 530 unique beers in about 2 years. So a good beer menu is very important to me.

God, I hope that doesn't happen. Hopefully if trump shuts that down, it'll mean increased production in Canada. Would be best for both our countries.

I suspect he will move away from relying on oil from the middle East so I may very well increase Canadian exports
