Wow way to get shot down for asking a f**king question

Maybe some could explain WHY it's such a bad idea to run this fuel, it's cheap as hell i'm sure people are tempted to use it

ok, i'll give you a somewhat more in depth answer, albeit in point form

- ethanol has a different stoichmetric value (the ideal air/fuel ratio) so you need to run a much richer AFR

- ethanol makes a smaller bang because it burns colder so without a tune you will make much less power

- once the tuned is richened up then you will make similar power

- corrosive properties as mention, however not as bad as some people make out.

- fuel economy is much worse than regular fuel (as mentioned, you need to run it much richer) to the tune of about 30% which negates the lower price

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
