[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16533474, member: 166576"] Ive got a test kit and tested a few stations just for giggles to try it out. One station was around E70, but its a 40 mile round trip. Havent test the station near me yet, its advertised as E54. Reason this is an issue is that for whatever reason, AZ legislated E85 away. We are allowed "Flex Fuel" and that can legally be anywhere from E54 (min) to E80 (max and no usual). So the legal spread is far looser than 87/91. Correct sir. Also, I dont know if the E blend is on site or if its pre blended offsite then delivered. Preblend E54 with trash 85 octane is a vastly different story than E54 with 91 or even 87. Ill probably end up giving the station manager a call to see what they do. But a lab test should give facts, which is what my engine wants. Not even close to my plans. I want to increase the static compression ratio when I pull my engine next year from 8.5:1 to 10:1, and at a later date add a TVS (cause Im not an SVTP baller unfortunately). Been waiting for Eaton to release a 3.0L+ TVS for some time and it looks like 2021 will be the year. I do not want to have to run 100 octane as a min fuel because Im not an SVTP baller. Im one of the poors so if I can run an E blend and not spend $140 a tank just to enjoy my car Ill invest in a fuel system now to do it. My concern as noted above is that I dont know what the gasoline rating is that its cut with. I freely admit that I dont know if the gas rating effects the Ethanol's rating but one would assume trash base gas COULD. So taking random samples and having them tested would put my mind at ease in investing in expensive injectors and a return system now than having to rely on pump 100 or even barrels of race fuel. Im totally on board with the potential of ethanol and totally jealous of guys that can just go pump E85 gold and not really think about it. If you have a link that explains how different ethanol blends are rated and how the gasoline component effects overall knock rating, Id love to read it. Lol an actual picture of me reacting to it:[ATTACH=full]1675313[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
