Message	I've noticed most or all gas stations around me only have 10% ethanol mix gas. From what I've quickly researched, the 10% ethanol gas will make you run about 5% leaner. I would think this could cause bad problems if people are running on the edge (15-16psi on stock turbos & injectors), or if your tune is already a little lean. Just curious if tuners like Ash, ztuner, etc are doing anything about this, or if they have done any testing to see if Z's running their standard tune are leaner/unsafe with the new gas? Thanks
