    E30 Ethanol Blend

    no it is your opinon. The process of Alcohol (ethanol) to CO2 + H2O is more efficent than when using a hydrocarbon. Hence why the heat is no where near as high when using Alcohol v a hydrocarbon based gasoline.

    E30 Ethanol Blend

    ahh but energy is only part of the equation. The other portion which is very important is the combustion efficency and that is where alcohol has always had a huge efficeny advantage.

    E30 Ethanol Blend

    the other issue E30 none of the older or even newer ecu will adjust for that. 15% tops but 30? Way out of the range of the O2 delta control. Usually plus minus 15% now back to mpg the ONLY way i can see this happening if they take the Diesel route and make a motor that is 100%...

    rear diffuser? umm not for anything but what exactly will a rear diffusor do to an already super turbulant air flow underneath our non-smoothed undercarriage? If we had the under carriage of say a Ferrari F340 than i would see a FUNCTIONAL purpose to a rear diffusor but on our cars. All...
