as i understand it, ny is going to a 10% ethanol blend very soon at the pump....how will this affect our cars? specifically...
-those running straight 93?
-those running alky injection?
-those running a 93/xylene mix?
very curious....
 
We have 94 with 10% ethanol and our cars love it!! Compared to regular 94 your knock count will go down substantially. You can feel the seat in the pants difference from the regular fuel. I recommended it to a Talon owner and he was kind of skeptical. He always ran 92 and got about 6 degrees of knock. He ran his tank down and filled up with 92 ethanol blend and got 0 degree knock. He hasn't gone back to the other gas!
 
Forgot to mention the ethanol cleans the car engine out pretty good so you might have to change fuel filters for a while till you get all that crap out of your fuel system.
