The correct AFR for alcohol (ethanol) is around 8 to 1 versus gasoline at 14.7 to 1. Switching to 10% ethanol should equate to about a 5% richer mixture. Ethanol produces more power than gasoline ? h

It is not likely you will encounter real problems as you have presumably used E85 for years. This usually contains about 5% ethanol, sometimes considerably more. So you have already changed most if n

John and Josef, There are two methods for measuring octane rating - motoring and research. The average of the two is used in the US. The higher research octane number is used in Europe. Cheers, Bob H

I believe the European octane ratings are Research Method only, which reads 3-5 points higher than US (R+M)/2. So, European 98 octane would be equivalent to US 93 octane (rare, but available in some
