Hey They have made it a law in florida that all unleaded fuel is to have 10% ethanal in it . My question is how or will this affect tunning as i have a re-tuned ecu already. I'm mostly concerned with timing in this issue.

All gas in the US has been made with atleast 10 percent eth for a long time now. You dont need to worry about it.

they dont call it e10. Most pumps in indiana are e10. There is usually a little sticker some where on the pump that says could contain up to 10% ethonal. Its not a law in indiana that all gas has to have 10% ethonal in it though. Your tune will be fine. Its not going to be a noticable change.

I guess CA only have E85(85% ethanol) and yes not 10% ethanol Whatever you call it.

Ca uses the same gas as everyone else. 10 percent of the E. Iv been there myself, seen the sticker heh. 10 percent E is normal gas.

There is NO change to make when speaking in terms of 10%. It won't effect the timing, afr's or combustion temps at that amount.
