E85 Question

[58james]

I have unleaded 88 (e15)in my area, how would that work in a 2.7 wildtrack with no specific tuning just factory

Let me guess, Sheetz?? Anyway, no problems at all. I use to run it back when gas prices were crazy.

My suspicion is that the extra ethanol would have a small positive effect , allowing the computer to advance the timing a bit further then the octane rating suggests (vs. 87 E10/E5), thus allowing a touch more thermodynamic efficiency (and resulting power).

I have no direct data around E88 to back this opinion up, but these ecoboost motors sure like their ethanol in other contexts.
