15% Ethanol - Is it bad for our cars?
Just wondering if anyone has insight on this. With Biden mandating an increase in ethanol content and everything... I would imagine we are not going to be able to get much of a performance gain without a tune, but will it be bad for our cars?

not bad...but your fuel economy will be worse. the factory computer will further optimize as it is self learning and will add 2 degree's of additional ignition timing.

We had the increase here for a few months now. I tried it, Mine hates it, economy is worse (if it can get any worse lol) and didn't run too good either.
I now only use 99ron which is low ethanol and it's fine again. Mine has been remapped also

This is what I'm afraid of. I will probably fill five gallon containers and remove the ethanol myself, then add octane booster if I can't get the fuel I want.
