I'm running regular 87 Shell ATM, the Omega tune can use any grade, after a few tanks of 87 with the tune I'll try 93 Shell. I don't have e85 available in this state for some reason, I'd have to travel 60 miles into Pennsylvania to get it. I want to start with what I have been using to see a difference, the nice thing with the nGauge is it does data logging.

Nice...I ran E85 when I was still N/A it ran great but the MPG was horrible. Then the station I was buying from ran out last spring and it wasn't convenient to buy any more, and I was going to install the Whipple anyway which doesn't support it.
Right now 93 is only a $0.25 more then E85 anyway, with the Whipple 91 is minimum.
Our A.S.S.hat governor added .30 state gas sales tax on our fuel, we were second lowest in the country, now were 3 highest. I do have a Shell discount card that I can save anywhere between .05-.30 a gallon with a max of 20 gallons pumped.

Damn... I did not get that sticker in any of my stuff. I thought maybe it was in my bin of parts... but nope. I wonder if Whipple would send me one?

Try $1.29/L - $4.92/gal? lol Not too long ago, it was $1.61/L - $6.09/gal. That's 87 octane. 91 was $6.78/gal at the time. The rest of the province is usually quite a bit cheaper; we drivers pay out the butt in tax to sustain a horribly inadequate and laughably inconsistent public transit system that we don't/can't even use, half of which runs on CNG and electricity anyways. Translink takes something like $0.30/L - $1.1/gal in taxes. Everyone says 91 does good things for the '18 5.0, I just can't afford to run it lol.
I'm very jealous that you're tuned now and enjoying the real output of the 5.0. I guess I'm still hung up over warranty concerns after seeing a couple of 2.8 LWNs bending rods on the GDE tune on the old truck's forum.

Ouch....at those prices a 2.7 with big turbos, intercooler and tune would look pretty attractive.

Damn glad I don't have to pay those prices our 87 is 2.149/gallon and 93 is 2.559/gallon

There was a near-identical black 301A FX4 RCSB on the lot with my truck, 2.7 3.55, but I didn't know about it until later because the sales rep assigned to me was an imbecile. I can probably count on 19MPG with a 2.7, but my area is not conducive to MPGs though.
