This is why I have such mixed feelings about ethanol. But that's going to veer off into verboten territory...
I agree!!! RTU needs to show us that the RTU intake and the cooler IAT helps with fuel economy??? I would think it would make the ethanol fuel fall out of suspension?

I share your mix feelings when it comes to ethanol. I tried a little fuel economy testing using E85 but never got anywhere close to gasoline fuel economy figures.
