So, for example, whereas you have to run the tank almost dry before switching from E85 to 91/93 or vice-versa, with the flex fuel tune and kit, you can just fill up with whatever you want whenever and it will adjust accordingly.
thanks for explaining this now I understand whats going on.
why do people assume everybody knows whats going on?

I plan on getting it in Redwood City at Propel (101 / Whipple), but I am a bit closer in San Mateo.

Then keeping a 5-galon reserve, that I will use frequently to keep it fresh.

Will the GTR & BRZ/FRS kits be interchangeable?

Can we mount the monitor inside the car so we always know how much % ethanol we are running?

Not 100% sure.

All I know is I will be offering at least one kit that has no gauge on it

Looks like "Turkey Lake Service Plaza - Florida's Turnpike" has E-85 for Orlando, just a little west of Orlando actually.

Thanks, but to go into the Turnpike means an almost 30 minute detour. To get back home. Does anyone know how long does E85 last in a moisture free environment and fully isolated? or is a vent necessary?

My frs has the cricket noise issue and currently I only use Sell gas to eliminate the noise. Will E85 make it worse since its 85% ethanol?
