Here in Sweden we have a 10%mix in the fuel too.

In Sweden turbo tuners use e85 because e85 dosn´t ping as easily as normal fuel so they can run more boost in their cars but when it does ping it destroys the engine. if normal fuel pings early it will most likley not destroy the engine. A normal car will run e85, but it will need about 33% more fuel to run properly,

(you might also run higher compression but that´s my quess)

turbo guy´s says: alcohol and driving does match, as long as you have the alcohol in the fuel tank..
