[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 180438, member: 4391"] Despite wikipidia, a car tuned for E85 (not the 10 or 15% stuff) can and do have very close to similar fuel economy numbers but with a much higher power output. For a boat motor, the power increases would come from increased compression ratio, and advanced timing, both of which would be, and are easy to accomplish. For cars it is usually due to forced induction (turbo) as higher boost pressures can be run without fear of detonation. Regardless, the solution to boat engine problems isn't to avoid it. It's to adapt to it. Because it's not going away. [/QUOTE]
