most fuel injected cars 1995 and older work just fine on E60 or so. The higher the compression, the better they are. Hondas are notoriously good with ethanol. I ran e80 or so on a 93 civic.

On any of them, you can extend the amount of ethanol you run by unhooking the vacuum line which runs to the fuel pressure regulator. This will bump your fuel pressure slightly at part throttle letting you run a touch more ethanol.

Wait, are we allowed to post E85/Ethanol topics in the Fossil Free section?

I didn't know any better place to put it, so it seemed to fit here (since ethanol is fossil-free). If it belongs somewhere else, a mod can feel free to move it.

Typically I put ethanol stuff in Efficiency discussion or Central. It's been awhile since I've seen an Ethanol topic in this section. I've never heard either way from Dan but I recall a discussion about it in the past.

Since there is already a topic on it, we can move this discussion to that thread.
