Default I Need E85

I don't know how many of you are in an area that doesn't have the E85 fuel or if you even know about, care, or want to be able to purchase this type of fuel. But, heres a link you can put your email address, city and state in and be put on a list for E85.

I'm trying to set my Chevelle to run E85. A lot of people think I'm crazy.

it really seems like the farther away from the fuel refinerys you are the more e85 you find...

Perhaps that is so true..... I have MANY fuel refineries in my back yard and NOT a single E85 station in sight!!! I think the closest one is in FAR north Texas or Oklahoma....

i live in st pual park mn and we are the home to a marathon/ashland refinery so i think that the theory above that bud8fan made couldnt be more off, i dont know exactly what contributes to location of sale/availability of e85 but we got it at every Holiday gas station (they are huge up here) and just so that everyone is aware your car HAS to be equipped to burn this fuel, it wont work in reg. "gas" cars
