Arrow Re: How to Blend Your Own Fuel, and Why You Should

I was just reading up some more on E85. I don't think I saw it mentioned here, but they have a winter/summer mix of E85 too! in the winter E85 is really E70. can someone else please confirm this as it would put our table all off.

Also, even in the summer E85 is the rating of the gas before it's denatured. So it's really about E81 given the standard 4% denatured rate of normal. Flex fuel vehicles don't have a problem with the variation in percentages since they have a fuel sensor. but since we're trying to work off of a fixed value we need the proper values to start with.
