The great "environmental" irony is that ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline - this is true - however in the US (and Canada, by extension) ethanol is derived from corn. As you've probably noticed after eating corn on the cob, corn is incredibly tough. To process the sugars into ethanol and break down the fibrous matter, the corn is made into a slurry and cooked in coal-fueled furnaces. So not only are engines using more gasoline, but we're also firing massive coal plants! Yeah that sounds green to me! In addition to this, the whole nightmare is actually driving up world food prices because we're using food for fuel... and world fuel prices because we're using more fuel because the food doesn't burn well enough! (Technically the corn used in ethanol isn't "food grade", but tell that to cows. As well the amount of arable land is very limited and this is a colossal waste of natural resources, and stuff like fertilizer) Literally the only parties that benefits from ethanol are corn farmers, who receive a nice government subsidy to waste gas instead of feeding people.

Brazil, on the other hand, is doing it right and using sugar cane, which is easier to process and much more efficient in terms of resource use to produce a certain amount of sugar (way sweeter than corn...). The US and Canada would be doing the same thing if not for some political bull****. In vehicles that can run it, sugar cane-derived E85 is much cheaper and has an overall lower environmental impact than running pure gasoline or E10.

I'm not in the know, I just want to bump up the regulator pressure on my '88 XJ by 10-20 psi, I know to keep an eye on the lines and connections for bulging, leaks and other signs of possible failure, I will be using a wideband to tune for my cam and manifold swap anyway, but I am somewhat new on extensive mods, I don't know if fuel pump constant pressure ratings are typically much higher than their regulated pressures, or what the deal is, is would seem like the higher you could run the better off you'd be, better atomization, higher flow.... And if that's the case my extrapolation begs the question; Why don't manufacturer's run higher pressures?

Thanks Yall!
