2017 SLE FORD EDGE Report post Posted December 29, 2019 Anybody use nonethenol gas in there Ford edge, mine being a 2017? We have a few stations in my area, living on a border state, I can go to the cheaper gas. Is it ok to use nonethenol gas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akirby Report post Posted December 29, 2019 Of course it’s ok. You’ll get better mpg but not enough to make up for the higher price. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Young Report post Posted January 5, 2020 I use Exxon 87 octane non ethanol gas in my boat. It cost 10 cents per gallon more than the 93 octane, up to 10% ethanol gas I use in my Mustang at the same gas station Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
todd92 Report post Posted January 5, 2020 I've been using E10 in all of my watercraft (Wakeboarding boat, pontoon boat, 2x Waverunners) for over 10 years with absolutely zero issues. They are all fuel injected. I put Sta-Bil in the gas at every fill-up, which I would do even with E0. There is little E0 available anywhere around me and it's 50-70 cpg more expensive. I also use E10 in all of the small engines at my farm. Again, zero issues. I see no reason to use E0. Certainly not in a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can buy nonethanol gas cheaper than up to 10% ethanol gas, they aren't telling the truth. In the past we've had several gas stations selling 100% pure gas with 0 ethanol at normal prices. They were shut down because their gas had the normal, up to 10% ethanol. Just saying...……:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigma-2 Report post Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Just happen to run across this conversation. FTI Heres a link to the US and Canada for non-Ethanol gas stations. (Problem is, it's usually not available in 87 octane). https://www.pure-gas.org/ Edited July 21, 2020 by enigma-2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcyFridge Report post Posted August 15, 2020 I've always wondered if I could run ethanol free gas in my tuned Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't do this on the old Focus ST because at the time there was only 91 ethanol free available. Now there's 93 ethanol free at some local Fastrac stations. I was always under the assumption that tunes benefited from some ethanol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was always under the assumption that tunes benefited from some ethanol. That’s only true for E85 or E30 (which is made by mixing E10 and E85 ) because E85 has a much higher octane rating (100+). with E10 the octane has already been adjusted so there is no benefit. Ethanol actually has less energy which is why without tuning e85 yields about 25% less mpg. With E0 you’ll see a bit more power and slightly better fuel economy compared to E10 but not enough to justify the higher price. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Report post Posted August 17, 2020 You can run up to about E18 on ecoboost engines without the need for a tune. After that, tune for best benefit - cooling, detonation resistance, and timing advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is better (already tuned)? Edit: NVM I overlooked the answer above. Edited August 18, 2020 by IcyFridge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
