We install multiple tunes in the standard VL ECU's so you can get the most out of what ever fuel you fill up on. Most guys just want 2 but 3 or 4 is not unreasonable just takes more time & cost to produce the tunes. BTW, I found this a few years back. Some of the bigbang fuels are really not that great per volume. Sydney to Melbourne on 320+Ltres.. LOL Fuel Energy-kJ per KG & Octane Nitro 11.3/has no octane rating Methanol 19.7/104.5 Ethanol 26.8/104.2 E85 29.2/101.6 Benzene 40.2/115 Toluene 40.6/114.5 ULP 42.7/93-98 Diesel 42.5/25 LPG 46.1/110 Hydrogen 120/130

If there's a better quality fuel around why wouldn't you put that in and get the most out of it rather than choose the poorest octane fuel? Even if you throw 98 in it you're not going to get increased power with your E10 tune. I would have thought most people would tune on a good quality 98 octane fuel as it's reputable and available. You could be missing 30hp without compromising the engine.
