Default Re: TO OR NOT TO USE <<e-85

i will note that the other day I filled with the usual 3 gallons of e85 and 7 of 91 and after about 10 minuets of casual driving got a CEL for “System too lean” for both banks 1 and 2. I filled the rest up with 91 to even out the mixture. Reset the CEL and it didn’t come back.

Unsure if that hat is actually a problem or if the computer is seeing it lean because it’s expecting regular gasoline to be used.

any thoughts on this would be great!
