So United is 50% more expensive.

If Eflex is indeed mixed with 98 and you have a flex-fuel tune going then by all means, it is the better choice for you.

I'm happy with United as the few times I have measured it it's always been 88% and that's quite consistent with what other people have been saying too. There's also no mention on their website of the ethanol content varying.

Basically I don't have flexfuel and I can't be arsed measuring each time I fill up lol.

If you get the sensor and Bluetooth controller from fuel-it for your car as if I'm not mistaken you run a procede, you just use your phone to check your e content.

Really easy and hassle free.

Interesting. Didn't see they had had before. Maybe if I upgrade my fuel system after rebuilding my turbos. Otherwise I'm pretty happy at the moment with mixing United without needing to worry about variances in ethanol content. I don't drive my car much so I only really fill it up once a month.

Honestly.. coming from procede to jb4/mhd.. its night and day. I have the app too for my phone.. you have alot of control.. for eg, reading codes and seeing issues is such a bitch. Logging etc.

You should def think about it.

Oh I've been planning it for a while already, but just been putting it off until I get my turbos done. So basically it's been years. I bought a JB4 G5 in preparation and it's installed in my E88 so at least it's getting some use lol. Maybe later this year I'll make the switch when and if the turbos get done.
