Kind of off-topic but stay with me here.
I'm researching the alcohol level of gasoline in every state. In Illinois, its E10 (well... UP to 10% ethanol) or E85. For Toyota, majority of the cars from 1987 will operate on E10 but Minnesota is pushing the E15 mandate which E15 is not recommended to cars prior to 2001 ---> 6th gen Celica. I want to ask the local guys in every state, what is your gas fuel regulations or laws? I know Florida, Minnesota, Hawaii, Missouri, Iowa, Montana, Kansas, Oregon, Louisiana, Washington, and Maryland MUST have 10% ethanol in their gas. Other states are up to 10% but never over (besides E85). If your state (MN people especially) has E15 and up gas or blender pumps, do you see any symptoms with the celica using the high alcohol content fuel? I got lot of information off the internet but no definite data of each state and their fuel regulations for 2011. (Found 2007 but that data is too old to use now) What about you 6gc'ers in Brazil? I believe the gas over there is like E20~E25. What kind of gas do you put in your 6gc? Sorry, its for work but it got me curious on how it will affect the celica. I'm not expecting much of you to answer this for me but I thought it won't hurt to ask. Thanks in advance, Shigs This post has been edited by Shigexile: Jan 26, 2012 - 2:27 PM -------------------- PROJECT 6TH GEN

Yes E85 needs more fuel. basically you have to double the size of your injectors to support it. but at the price of it, it still works out better. Alot of Supra guys convert to E85 because it has such a high octane rating and burns so cool. but they are running 2000cc injectors and 3 fuel pumps. im actually considering running it in my 7th gen race car.
