    Stoich values?

    With pump gas having 10% ethanol now, how does this affect the tune?

    I did a little reading on this, didn't find too much info, but came to the conclusion that is doesn't matter.

    Not doubting... just curious... but, I read that around here the stoich value is at 14.2 +/-2%/3% with 93 octane with 10% ethanol?? I checked the values in PE and it does change the AFR considerably to me anyway... What are they going to pull next lol. I set everything up with a different stoich value and made the other changes associated and AFR was good(12.7-13.0) in this case... LTFT were 900mv... blah blah... Meh, it may not matter and fall into the +/-2 and 3 percentile range that it really doesn't matter if everything's on the safe at the 14.6 stoich value.

    all gas up here in PA has 10% ethonal all year round. in winter they switch to 15% and our mpg drops.

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    10% year round here also... I have noticed a slight drop in mpg in my DD as well.

    Eth has higher octane and less BTU so it takes more fuel for the same power. Seems like it would affect ragged edge set-ups to me but y'all know from experience.
