Busa & Ethanol?

Slight hijack*
Anyone ever run 102+ octane fuel? I ran it (1 gallon mixed with whatever was in the tank) in my 02 Busa a couple of times and once it ran real hot while stopped at a traffic light. The temp meter ran all the way up. It only did it the one time which happened to be when I was running 102+ so I assumed it was because of the gas. But haven't tried it in my 08 Busa yet.
Anyone? Results? It did perk up my 02 a bit. And LOVE the smell of the exhaust with it.
 
Hijack accepted... I'd like to know about this too, especially for the Gen II. :beerchug:
 
Ethanol does have less energy content per equivalent volume than gasoline, just as gasoline has less energy content per equivalent volume than diesel fuel:

Ethanol - 84,000 BTU/gallon

Gasoline - 125,000 BTU/gallon

Diesel - 130,500 BTU/gallon
