what i mean is that it is possible that e85 takes longer to reach peak cylinder pressure from ignition, so that at the same pressure level it may be easier

Of course i don't know the burn speed of the two fuels so it could actually be more, especially since burn speed changes at elevated pressures. __________________ ANSWER PRICE LIST Answers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - $0.75 Answers (requiring thought) - - - - $1.25 Answers (correct) - - - - - - - - - - $12.50
