umm...kinda related to the performance issue of ethanol mixd petrol......(im assuming that ths ethanol mixd fuel is now available at pso all over...correct me if im wrng)
filled up my 86 corolla frm a pso pump ...which i usually dun do(use total )and took the car upto ayubia & nathiagali
it was all gud on the flats and even up till murree...no REAL markd diff in perf...but as u kept on goin further...the performance of the car decreased steadily...and jst wouldnt generate enuf momentum...was kinda worrying cuz i frequent those places on a pretty regular basis and have never encountered such situations where the car ends up crying for a change frm 2nd to 1st gr....normally it went pretty ok in 2nd with rare isnatnces of downshifting to 1st..... (err...the car aint on cng and the engine is superb mashallah )
im guessin the ethanol based fuel really does not burn up well at all at higher altitudes.... pakwheelers will agree there is a drop in perf even for normal petrol.....all im sayin is that it drops significantly with ethanol mixd petrol......any take on tht?? any1 had any similiar xperience...or am i jst being paranoid??
