imfauxreal Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Peeps, Ive tried to use the E10 unleaded gasoline on my 1992 SC300, Surpirsingly the engine runs faster, but Im scared if it will damage my engine?

Here's the pic of my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 E10 won't cause any damage to your engine. Some states are even attempting to mandate the use of 10% ethanol in 87 octane gasoline. Newer cars fuel systems were designed to safely run E10...daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 nice! here in hawaii. its all E-10. just another way for gas companies to make more money!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Is E10 available everywhere in Hawaii, or just select gas stations? I wish I lived in a state that offered something better than this cali 91 craptane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Is this the gas that they use in densely populated cities? When I lived in Baton Rouge (south louisiana), they made us use a more expensive fuel b/c of air quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 What was the gas labeled as? Should have some kind of octane rating or what not. Yes, E10 would affect emission levels...depending on what contents your state tests for. I'd be happy with 93 octane or higher. This 91 is killing me. E10 must be killer for everyone with a stable supply of it. What was the gas labeled as? Should have some kind of octane rating or what not. E10 isn't a universal/readily available source of fuel...yet. I'd be happy with 93 octane or higher. E10 would be straight s*x for forced induction.

jzz30 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 i dont know about other islands but oahu only uses e-10 as of maybe a year ago? or was like spring anyway its been a while. and supposedly it reduces emmisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yes, it reduces certain emissions. It'd be kick-!Removed! to have my car run on your "daily" fuel everyday!! I envy your gas...pump gas that is!! Hahaha. How much is it per gallon over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 premium runs $2.69-89 a gal. the emmisions part is good but the mileage is supposed to be reduced because ethonal has roughly 50% less energy so you need to burn a little more fuel to get the same power. but i havent noticed a difference...
