Has anyone seen e-85 yet at the pump?

[MikeL.]

Picked up 5 gal today and it tested 80% here in Ohio.

I converted my fuel system at the tail end of last year so just wondering when a true 85% blend is rolled out following winter.

I have tested all gas stations in Nebraska. The only station I have found true e85 is Phillips 66. Bucky's in our area was 70 every time tested

74% here

Mine Tests almost 90% in Philly...even in the winter I consistently get 85. The station has a choice and our guy only stocks 85 as that is what his customers come in for...

What is the reason for the winter blend with less ethanol? Seems like they would make more money keeping the ethanol at 85%

The 74% reading came from the flex fuel sensor in my Silverado.

That's pretty cool that it displays that info. Have you compared it to an actual test?

Haha the dealership did actually. It was within 2%.

I am a little late to the game on this one but I just got my E85 tester. Been running E85 for years and never tested it. I got somewhere between 60 and 65% at the Kroger on Fry road in Houston TX. I am a little pissed but have never seen any knock with this stuff. Anyone know of a better E85 station in Houston???

Don't be too pissed. If it's knock free you should still get a little better mileage with the lower ethanol content.

I suppose. I am short on injector anyway and the extra gas helps it run richer. What other fuel can you run 25 psi boost on for less than 3 dollars a gallon anyway. I will just keep an eye on it when I start turning the timing up. I checked the Kroger at West Road and it is not any better. Close to 60 percent ethanol.
