    I must have misunderstood. I didn't think you could get E98 at the pump and I still don't believe you can. I've only seen that for sale online in drums and some stores that sell ethanol which I haven't found any local yet. I thought you were talking about E-85 at the pump. It couldn't be an higher because the company mixes in reg 87 unleaded to get the desired ethanol concentration. If they had E98, then the gas station would be screwing themselves in price. The winter blend for E-85 is actually closer to E70. There's quite a bit more gasoline added to the ethanol during the winter so flex fuel vehicles will start up easier. Running E85 or a higher concentration of ethanol during the winter will result in hard starts if any at all sometimes. Running a standalone is about the only way around running high levels of ethanol with the cold weather because you can tweak the startup tables and parameters.

    Edit: Austin beat me to it.

    Technically he is right.

    Give us a reason why he would be wrong? I know people who are running E85 with stock ecu with piggy backs. Now that people are getting more and more into hacking our OEM ecu's, I see this very possible in the near future.

    I didn't say it couldnt be done with piggy backs. He said with the stock ECU and aftermarket injectors. IE no way to control flow. That would never be a good running car.
