Yep, the cars are going to have to be tuned on high % Ethanol fuels (Summer brew) and pull a couple of additional degrees of timing out to be safe.... so when the low % Ethanol gets manufactured in Winter, the car will run slightly richer but the timing will be still safe.

E85 is a lot more stable than people would have you believe... the 40L that was in the Terminator has been in there for 4-5 months just sitting there and after the dogbox went in on Wednesday, the car made plenty of power and no issues with detonation whatsoever..... its a very safe and resilient fuel no doubt.

Mothers milk in fact.
