    When I use that link, it shows several stations near me, none of which sell e85.

        you will not find 85% ethanol at a pump, e85 has a minimum of 15% gas, that is then mixed with a 98% ethanol mix, so 83% is really the highest you could ever expect to see and that is very rare. a good mix in the metroplex is ~80%, kroger is typically the best although i've gotten 83% at a murray gas station in ft. worth. HEB's typically also have good content. racetrack's and valero's typically have poor % ~65-75...

          Car have a content sensor? Or are you going to just adjust tune and test every batch you get?

            Kroger's for the Last 10 years I know, always has the highest and cleanest.

            I regularly see 88-90+ in the summer

              83% is the highest you'll find at a pump (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol_e85_specs.html), daily driving 3 cars that are on e85 with content meters and tuning at least a few a week i can say i've never seen higher then a legit 83% reading.

                Go check Kroger, and let me know what you find. I check the specific gravity with a hydrometer, because I run nitromethane with it. In the summer months I test higher then 85% regularly in the summer months. For the last 11 years I have been running it, the highest ethanol content I find at the pump, us Kroger fuel centers.

                    I forget sigs are even a thing until i hit a message board for research, and I'm not signed in to it.

                    I keep checking my ublock add blocking settings, until I realize it's a signature, and user avatars.

                    I've had that shit turned off here for years.

                        just tested some from the kroger at coit and 121. it has been sitting for two weeks in a fuel jug, but i got the same thing. right around 85% with the quick fuel cylinder.

                        i will test the race track at exchange next. way closer to the house.
