I havn't been here in a bit but wondered if anyone saw this device on CNBC today? Have there been any conversions to E85 in the SVX community? Is this worth looking into?

Any thoughts?

Mine is currently e85 (2v7F) capable and my tank is nearing empty, so I just may fill up soon with some of that crap (it is a waste of money) just to see how it runs. I'll hopefully get back to you on how it works for me.

here is my E85 on first tank.

I filled up last night at odometer reading of 107115.
drove the car until it was on E today for a total of 12 gallons used.
Odometer reading of 107197.
total of 82 miles
12 gallons
average of 6.8333333 mpg
I normally get an average of 21-22 w/ premium.

Car ran bad at times, but strong overall.

So I got the worst millage ever and also threw 4 codes as a result.
knock sensor #1
O2 sensor #1
O2 sensor #2
MAF

All these codes began with the E85 fuel and the ECUTune mem energized to make it switch to the proper data maps.


Overall result is bad bad bad. I would not recommend this to anyone, ever.
