Fuel consumption

Consumption increases the greater the proportion of ethanol in the fuel. This is a natural consequence of the need for more ethanol than petrol for a certain air quantity in order to obtain Lambda 1, as well as that ethanol is less energy rich. When driving on pure E85 an increase of up to approximately 40% can be expected.
