Why not adjust the tune to work with the fuel and not the other way around. Margin of error incase you stop at a station that routes the bathroom to their storage tanks. I'd rather piece of mind than getting to the next stop light quicker.

Aren't all these guys and threads saying our chevron 94 is inferior to US 92? You'd have to go down and tune on whatever you run at home - not sure you'd make it to portland on a tank of gas.

yah, some sort of back and forth protune based on data logs is probably the smartest idea. then i start wondering the big difference between our hottest and coldest days plays a big part on afr's too. i haven't purchased a 335i, i'm just kind of seeing if it's more hassle than it's worth to build one in a way that it'll satisfy what i want out of my next purchase.
