It also showed there were no substantial differences in the performance of the sending units tested in the three different fuels.

Since the only issue I need to care about in my car is if the fuel gauge works and my fuel pump works ok, I can now rest easy knowing that E20 is superior to the other currently available fuels.

After all, why would I worry about trival things like fuel economy, deviation from Stiochiometric A/F ratios and other performance parameters.

FYI, I started a new thread on ths topic as it needs to be highlighted. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/599932-heck-e10-lets-go-e20.html
