E30 worth it?

[f8tlSHO]

Since this thread specifically asks about E30, thought I would post this puff piece here:

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?

I drove about 120 miles on the highway the other week, 28.2mpg @65-70mph, on my e30 tune

What do you get with e10 or e0, tuned or untuned?

 

[TopherSho]

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

With a good e30 tune (if your fuel system can handle it) your 60ft and 0-60 will gain quite a bit and 3rd gear will benefit as well.

I think 26-27... but honestly I have been running e20-e30 for 1.5 years.. only had the car for 2 months before I tuned it. I don't normally drive it on trips. Got a minivan to haul all my people and stuff

I have made several different road trips lately with my Continental, some tuned for straight 93 and others with additional spark set up for more E.

The best mileage and performance I get is with about a 35% E blend.  Frankly, I was surprised.  I expected mileage to take a hit with higher levels of E but not so with the tune I am running.  Whether running the 93 tune or the E tune, mileage is improved over stock.

YMMV.

It honestly depends on the tuner. Brad has probably done more research on our platform from a E tuning perspective than most. He adjust lambda for his E tunes which will make a difference in your MPG... HOWEVER that being said, I am unsure if he is tuning for every day driving or just wide open awesomeness. His throttle tuning and transmission tuning effects everything.. just not sure if he adjusts the fueling for cruising around. Maybe he will chime in?

Throttle angle is everything. I have no self control as well over my throttle angle. LOL

I believe AJP has done MPG tunes that people have been happy with. I will def have a 93 tune. E30 Tune. A long trip MPG tune. Would love to hit 30mpg if possible.

The Juke modding is almost done. I will be tuning the SHO in October.

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?

I would say do the e30 blend before meth.  It helps the launch sooooo much.

Torries E30 tune knocked almost a half second off my quarter from the 93 tune.  I suspect it will be even more once I lower the car and get new tires.

Yes, the stuff is very addicting.

Unleashed Tune (93) | K&N Filter | 13.228 @ 103.27 New Hampshire Dragway (-400 DA)
Unleashed Tune (100) | K&N Filter | 13.162 @ 104.67  New Hampshire Dragway (0 DA)
Unleashed Tune (E30) | K&N Filter | CX Racing Intercooler | ~12.999 @ 106.51 ATCO (+200 DA)

All with pretty much the same 60' - 1.930 for 93 and E30, 1.949 for 100 octane.

I recommend mixing the E85 with 93 for best power.  The E30 tune I have shows 0 signs of KR from 0-110 and could probably go even faster.
