WRONG. You need bigger injectors and a tune. You should change your fuel filter a few times as well because the alcohol will clean the inside of the tank out.

the article i just read said that it depends on the vehicle. so i might be wrong with our cars. it said some vehicles only need tuning that keeps the injector pulse open longer, while some vehicles need bigger injectors and a higher pressure fuel pump.

Just an FYI, but we don't have a fuel filter. Just a non-user--replaceable sock in the gas tank.

Sucks.
