on my drive to hunter mountain i noticed sunoco has 10% ethanol fuel. i have a full tank of this stuff and am not tuned for anything like that...is it safe to drive on since that was the only stations i found en route? its rated 93 octane which is what i use anyway but it stated has 10% ETHANOL
just wondering

its fine, all the gas stations in NY have that and its all i've ever used. Dont even think it is an issue.

I stopped going to a station here that converted to 91 with 10% in it. It's the same price as normal 91, which is BS since you'll actually get less mileage from it. If it was 93, then I'd consider it but I just get normal 92 from BP (highest I see around here).

The 10% Ethanol is actually a good thing if you want a little extra power. I can run more timing with 91+10% Ethanol than I can using BP 92 without Ethanol.

Even running the stock tune the 91+10% was much more knock resistant than the 92.

interesting!
however NJ doesnt seem to believe in ethanol fuels
we dont have a single station that sells it

I think most gas staions in CA at least have a max of 10% ethanol in their gas by law to replace the MTBE additive.

yea, you can make more power with ethanol considering e85, which is 85% ethanol, depending on the seasonal mix has an octane rating of 105-110

ROFL Jersey drivers. They don't know most of the 93oct in the country has ethanol in it cause they don't pump there own gas. HA

well we probably dont know because its not stated at the pump and not because some dont know how to pump their own gas
