Fun fact:
After loading the tune files from BlackBear, I could immediately see that the shift patterns made more sense. Much improved. What I did not expect was to gain 2 MPG! This is on the normal 89 octane mid grade pump gas.
Experiementally, on Thursday afternoon I filled up with the zero ethanol and right away i can tell that the MPG number is lower by 2.5 or 3. I will run thru that tank of gas and go back to mid-grade and verify that the average for that tank is back to the 17.5 that i showed during the two tankfuls after the tune was loaded.
I think a work-commutes after that I will tank up with E85 and see how it does. I dont really expect my 'miles per dollar' to show in favor of E85. Thus far i get the best economic return from mid-grade, and the performance is acceptable on mid-grade as well. But my curiosity forces me to try it out.
