Gotta love it. Its a pain, on my truck I had to disconect my front o2s to kick it into open loop to get even fuel consumption. It seems since the fuel burns cleaner it wants to burn more to keep the cats happy. I did that last year, made it run alot cleaner (power wise) also. Now and then I check the AFRs and its still in the happy zone. Dam ethonal.

Uh, water will make all the ethanol drop out of suspension in the gasoline, but then you have water under the gas.
You could fill a 5 gallon gas can, then add water, let it sit overnight, and then drain the water/ethanol from the bottom.
This is also why you get "bad gas" from gas stations sometimes, after a certain time the condensation inside the tanks cause the ethanol to separate from the gas and you get water and ethanol with no gas, this is a normal cycle for ethanol in gasoline.
A better idea, lobby your congress critters against the oil companies.
Ethanol really cuts gas mileage.

good info
more reasons for a water meth system(helps with the octane also) and an external fuel filter.
just about got my set up going--its tricky to get the oem filter out leaving everything else intact. anyone interested?
beware the dreaded ethanol----hell i rather eat the corn!

I managed to accomplish(with lots of help) all the mods for '08 also. My '09 mods will be less agressive. Yes I have a list all made out.
There's nothing like celibrating a New Year in Vegas
. The roads crossing the strip from Sahara to Tropicana are going to close starting a 1pm. The whole 3 miles will be one big party with guys jumping fountains in their motor cycles, guys doing flips with their trucks and one great big fireworks show. The roads will stay closed untill 4am tomorrow.
