I went from ~27mpg on map1 to ~24/25mpg on E35ish. That said I went WOT from time to time.

MPG will drastically worsen the more E you add, especially when going WOT it will eat more fuel but you're also running more power with E in the tank (has more octane), but E requires more volume.

Anybody know how to put the fuel-it ethanol sensor in a 2014 428i xdrive N26 engine? I'm having trouble figuring out where the sensor itself goes. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Not trying to thread jack
