E30 worth it?

[ChrisxHowe]

Ive had unleashed 3bar 93 tune for a few months with a few revisions on my flex feels great but was thinking about going with a E30 tune I have plenty of e85 stations near me. The extra $99 for E30 tune worth the difference in performance?

Yes!!!! I went from e20 to e30, lowered my boost to 14psi and went faster with a better 60ft time... do it and don't look back

Ran a 12.433 with a 1.798 60ft on e30 with 14psi in 65degree weather with (ajp tuning) it even closes throttle in between gears to stop the boost spikes

Are you testing the e85 in our area? Is it actually 85%

I just realized you are in Lancaster area, I think we talked before. Sheetz has been putting e85 in a bunch of their stations. I use prospect road sheetz, only 1 minute from my house. But I heard there are other sheetz stations putting e85 in. I used to use mollys in Manheim, but they took it out. Then was using wo-go in greenfield, but now sheetz is way closer.

I am in the Reading Area. Lancaster side. I will have to check the stations near me and see what they have.

Fairly accurate... you can always call the gas station to confirm.

Since this thread specifically asks about E30, thought I would post this puff piece here:
http://www.ethanolproducer.com/articles/13109/are-you-ready-for-the-e30-challenge

It was pointed out to me today that the claim is you can get better mpg with E30 than E10.  I have yet to research this, but ... ???  Anyone?

No.  E30 is 30% Ethanol, Ethanol has less power per liter than gasoline.  Pure gas will always give you better mileage than a blend.
