What are the advantages and factors to consider in owning a Mustang GT with an E85 tune or a flex fuel system? Let's talk about it!

Benefit: Engine Runs Better

An e85 tune Mustang GT makes the engine run faster, cooler and cleaner. You can significantly boost horsepower and engine life from E85 tuning. Better performance comes from the e85 fuel’s higher octane number, faster expansion and burn rate, faster flame front and increased fuel charge density.  All of these factors outperform gasoline, providing more horsepower while lower combustion temperatures keep the oil, coolant and engine cooler.

Benefit: Fuel Cost Savings

Another benefit for Mustang GT owners who tune their engines to e85 is that they may experience fuel cost savings. Even though e85 fuel economy may be slightly lower than regular gasoline, the cost per gallon is lower, so overall fuel costs are generally reduced. For cars that originally required high-octane 91/93 octane gasoline, the savings are even higher.  More power and lower fuel costs is a winning combination.
