Full e85... because who has time to mix gas?

wow
id like to see a log.

Sent it to Terry at burgers and he said it was good and that I was at the max potential of the JB4.??‍ Next I’d have to do a BEF tune. Like with MHD. Don’t really know much about that yet. Still researching to understand what that means ?

If you can make sense of it I’ll send it to you. Message me your email address.

Are you tuned or have the flex fuel add in?

ethanol free, pure gas.

92 octane (haven't found anything higher near me in WA). I get about 280-300 miles to the tank in sport + manual which includes city driving. Decided to cruise in auto for the boring highway stretches of my last spirited driving day and got about 350 miles to the tank. I wouldn't be surprised if this did 400+ to a tank on an economy run.

LPFP, PI, PI controller, flex fuel and tuned. You really need all to run properly.

Did you swap out the factory LPFP with a higher flowing unit?

I added an additional (external) It alone is supplying the PI

I do a lot of city driving and I hardly get 230-240 on a full tank. And I am in normal mode all the time. What am I doing wrong? I put in 91 and that's the highest I get around here in the bay area.

Hills I guess? Stop and go traffic also is pretty bad for fuel economy but even then I can get 20-22 MPG, so maybe that's the difference.

In sport + manual, I'm not constantly redlining it. I will go into 7th or 8th on the highway if I'm just cruising, and really only drop it into 5 or 6 if I'm going for an overtake. I do downshift early approaching lights for the crackles on the overrun -- that's my big reason for sport + manual.

Its is painfully obvious that there is a lot of opinion here and not one person who has actually read the manual. the manual plainly states that the maximum RECOMMENDED fuel is 93 now most people cant get 93 they can only get 91 so ... and it also plainly says the minimum RECOMMENDED fuel is 89... so basically any fuel between 89 and 93 the car will run just fine on. Now like ANY car sure 93 will give ya bigger bang ... how much? basically not enough to feel anything. 10 or so HP. so is it worth the extra cost? well some people believe one gas is better then another and some people believe in chem trails also so... the car runs just fine on 89 and is a RECOMMENDED (toyota's words in manual since people like throwing around that recommended thing a lot) minimum fuel to use. your car will run just fine and wont explode or turn into stone or any of the stuff these 93 elites claim.

fun side note people love to claim Toyota recommends when it suits their argument but when it dose not, then Toyota are idiots that don't know anything. example toyota says use 93 it says so in manual.. yup they know they are smart... Toyota also says in manual they recommend 0w-20 oil.... Toyotas idiots they don't know anything. Oil consumption is normal... again toyotas idiots. but when the manual supports your pointless gas argument then toyota knows all.

Just trying to learn...which part of his post made you say "wow?" The 5 gallons of E85? Or running the JB4 on Map 5?

I put 3 gallons of E85 in tonight and ran on Map 3 and finally saw improvement I was expecting.

Trapped just over 120 according to Dragy. On Map 1 with just 93 it trapped just over 117. With just the downpipe it was consistent 116.

No way he didn’t have trim and lean issues if doing pulls

Gotcha. I'm on my first tank of 3 gallons E85 on Map 3...do you think that's reasonable?

What would be a good mix to try for map 5? Or do you not think map 5 is a good idea?
