now e85, you'd almost have to upgrade the injectors to run it properly along with a retune, doubt the std injectors would flow anywhere near enough....

might have to replace all the fuel lines and throw the 1600cc injectors on for s&g's just to find out, quicker than the lpg vapor injection i was putting on........

E85 is the ducks nuts of all the fuels you can buy at servos. But being ethanol it burns more.

End of the day use the fuel your car was tuned on. That's where you will see the bet results.

Thanks msiys for the reply thats cool mate, your right I''ll be going back to 98 octane the 100 proving less economical. And now I also know there is no such thing as 100% octane as some other member pointed out!

The octane is a rating not a percentage so its 100 octane not 100% octane same as the 91 95and 98 is octane rating not a percentage.

XR6 TURBO she needs a tissue achoo
ive been using united 100 in my old car and yes guys i wouldnt recommend it to anyone i wouldnt even touch it as its burnt out my injectors and ####ed up my fuel pump same goes with e85 only diffrence is i used to buy it from america in the barrel e85 is 110 octane from memory with 70 to 85 % ethanol as its been clinicly tested. just use premuim from bp and if u want the extra oumph just use the octane booster to boost it too 100 without having ethanol is it. As for petrol prices there going to hit sky high very soon so lpg is the go if ur on a cheap budget which some of u guys are in here, only thing is it burns more leaner then any other fuel

Word is fuel prices are on the way down, particularly if Costco bring their pumps online, rumoured to be under the dollar mark if they do, so seems conflicting information there.
