That means my custom e85 map should be getting the proper fuel it needs Ha Ha .
I know that station -- filled up there when returning a rental earlier this year. Wildly overpriced. Plus, as in the rest of NJ, the attendant has to pump your gas -- that must be fun when putting in an E60 blend.

I don't buy gas there and stopped mixing altogether as I run full e85 map now with TBI and st2 lpfp. As far as price it certainly could be higher for ethanol as there really is no competition there at all in the area. It's actually pretty low at $1.85 a gallon. For race fuel,are you kidding me. It's around $ 0.50 cheaper than 93 gas in the area. Plus it's actually 85% ethanol = Priceless

Wow, $1.85, that's pretty good no matter where. I would have guessed a dollar more at that place. I pay $1.99 in Miami. An all E85 map leaves power on the table, though, which is why I run E60.

E85 making less HP than E60 ??? why would that be. Not when running TBI or PI for sure.
105 octane is better than 100 octane of e60 mix

The clerk told me this is statewide for e85. Thanks for your help.

You will need 7 galons of e85 if its (e54) and 3 galons of e91 to get to e40 gas mix.

If it was actuall e85 not e54 then you would need only 5.5 gallons of e85 and 8 gallons of 91 gas to get e40 mix.

Sorry, I didn't know you had PI or TBI (ya gots no sig). But just a stage 2 LPFP, yes. My HPFP would tank if I ran straight E85 trying to make the power I make on my E60 tune. So with just the stage 2 LPFP, of course I can run all E85, I just have to run a more conservative tune.

Yeah. The TBI provides additional 20% of fuel to help HPFP and the top end doesn't run out of fuel on stock twins. I used to run e60 before TBI.
