After experiencing less than expected numbers on a dyno last week and reading a thread about mileage loss due to winter gasoline mixtures, it makes me wonder how much this could have caused the low numbers?

could have a big impact because of the way they mix the gas. i think theres less ethanoyl or however you spell it. im not certain of the mix but i know you can correct that with some additives.

If it did make a difference it was 1-5hp.

"The Environmental Protection Agency says conventional summer-blend gasoline contains 1.7 percent more energy than winter-blend gas, which contributes to the summer blend’s slightly better gas mileage."

You should run whatever gas you drive it with for a Dyno Tune.

He didn't have the car TUNED.


He was at a dyno day. They were just doing pulls.
