Na mate, ninja is straight 98.

The 70% to 85% is from mates who run E85 in their cars, they run ethanol content sensors which allow the ECU to map for ethanol content and adjust the tune to suit.

Even when the ethanol is on the low side, 70%, they still make a good deal of more power over straight 98.

Only down side is needing to change you oil more frequently.

But again the benifits are worth the slight cost of the shorter maintanance intervals.

My only problem is the lack of suppliers, and carrying jerries and storing drums is not a option for me at this stage.
