ECU edits / aftermarket ECUs
Ethanol blended fuels are not suitable for all cars (and besides that, some can be bad for fuel economy).
ECUs in FI cars are tuned to a certain RON level of fuel, so if you go up in the Octane level (as is the case for older cars), then the ECU isn't going to take advantage of it.
I did a search (and will continue to search), but has anyone here changed out or modified the ECU to adapt to higher RON fuel (so that it's extra 'energy' isn't just wasted?)
