Ethanol free gasoline
My car is tuned on East Coast 93 octane that I am planning on moving to Cali which obviously doesn't have 93 octane, but I do have access to ethanol free 93 octane.
What difference does that make performance wise? All fuel now comes with a blend of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline which affects your mpg versus a non ethanol blend, but I would figure you also lose cooling efficiencies with an ethanol free fuel because of the cooling properties of alcohol. Any thoughts on this?
