This has been one of my bookmarked sites for years. Mainly for the computer hardware end of it. This appeals to me from the el cheapo gas standpoint and also the hillbilly in me noticed that moon shine for $1.25 a gallon, what you city folk call everclear.
Rotted fuel injection hoses may be a problem though. I wonder how that computer knows if it's gas, E-85, or straight ethanol?

You don't need this device if you have an Eprom burner and the proper software. I attempted to do this on my old Honduh before I sold it. I believe the more ethanol mixture vs gas mixture you have, the hotter the spark has to be. I did a little bit research but not that much since I live an hour away from the nearest E85 station.

If I lived anywhere near Tirerack in Indiana, I would've already perfected a Honda map and never sold my car as there is a major Ethanol plant near there.
