Hello Corvette fanatics,
First, let me compliment you one your well designed website. I find it user friendly and interesting.
Next, I am related to one of your members, but will not let you know who it is. CLUE! This person drove my old Roadrunner in Minnesota recently. Although my car is quite worn, the driver was very good at shifting the cumbersome old muscle car. I'll let you find out who it is.
Last and most important.
:?: I am inquiring about the gasoline (fuel) that you use to run in your vehicles. I am not a chemical engineer. However, we are now using alcohol in all our gasoline in Minnesota. I am a student at the University of Minnesota, and am looking at the driveability issues that occur when our vehicles use blended gasoline/alcohol (ethanol).
What I would like to know are things like:
How does Finland determine Octane ratings.
Do you have different grades of gasoline available for your daily driver cars?
Do your Corvettes use racing fuels available only at race tracks, and if so, who is the supplier of these fuels and what type of fuel are they?
Where does most of the gasoline you use in your regular street driven cars come from? The north sea? The moon? Saudi Arabia?
Is your fuel mixed with alcohol, and has it made any differences in the way your vehicles run?
Please take a moment to think about the gasoline you have used in the past and any engine performance changes you may have experienced over time.
This is not an formal analysis of Finnish gasoline. I am using this information to gather information about the direction that global automotive fuel usage is heading. For example, our Minnesota state government is going to try and increase the amount of alcohol put into gasoline in the near future. This may lead to automotive driveability issues. I would like to find the best induction and engine combinations to burn this type of fuel, but will not waste my time if fuel is going to remain the same, especially globally, for the next couple years.
I do not speak Finn, which is a shame, isn't it. Such a wonderful language that all should speak. Ok...I am joking.
Sincerely,
Paul Futcher
