e85 is not good for Bone Stock engine period.

 

Totally untrue. If you are tuned for it and know what your doing with the ECU it is better for your motor than gasoline. Burns cleaner, cooler burning, cheaper and basically all around better than even 93 octane. Take a look at a motor that has burned 93 octane all of its life.. then tear apart a motor that has seen E-85 or 98 for the majority of its life.... Tell me what you think about how bad it is after you see the evidence.

It is BETTER for a motor, hands down, bar none.

 

Yes, absolutely untrue... some people, I just wonder...

 

We have a few stations scattered around N.C. to get E-85. I usually have to drive about 30 minutes away, but I take 10 5 gal. fuel tanks and fill them up all at once. To me the extra effort is worth it. On the bright side I spoke to a Shell manager a couple of weeks ago and he told me that Shell had recently purchased a very large Ethanol producing facility. According to him, all Shell stations would be starting to add E-85 over the next few months to a year. Don't know how much validity to put in this but if it's true it would be great for everyone using E-85.

 

I wish they would put a couple pumps in around my area. I would make the switch in a second. I am just not going to drive 30 miles round trip to get fuel and not be able to get it on the other side of town.

 

I just looked all around the Mooresville area and cant find any That would be sweet if all the Shell's around started carrying it. Seems NC is on the last of the list for people converting over. You would think they would try to step it up after that gas shortage not to long ago.

 

No doubt. Yea I dont know of any in Mooresville. Not that it would help, theres Statesville rd., Woodlawn rd., Shelby, and Fortmill. These are the only ones I know of. There is supposed to be a place in Statesville that u can take a 55 Gal. drum to and mix your own. Not sure of name, but I can find out if you want.

 

I hear you-- this website may not be complete but the only Jacksonville site is "private" (govt/fleet);

Same problem exists over on the gulf side- even Tampa is "dry" and there are tons of FFV's over there- ticks me off when I fly in to Tampa and rents an FFV but have to run it on gas. There is a company that is working to add stations around your state but I cannot remember the name of it right now.

 

Yeah I seen those when I looked it up but as my dd I dont want to have to make a trek and or store the e85 to run it. I asked a manager at a shell station in Mooresville this afternoon and he said he has not heard anything about it. I am still going to keep my fingers crossed.

 

Correct it is only for city fleet vehicles... and Gate was trying to get in on the E85 gig, with their own ethanol plant, but super high rising costs for the manufacture of special tanks and equipment to dispense E85 made them change their minds rather quickly... seems as though demand actually drove the price of the production up on these items... They backed out of the whole project as it was not financially vaible after all of the "mark ups"

 

e85 are very good to engine and also very good of blowing up engine. Been there and done that.

 

$1.99/gal in fargo nd

 

And how did you blow ur engine up on E85? Did you get tuned for it or did you just throw it in your car?

 

If your tuning is as good as your grammar then e85 probably isn't the problem.
