I've been using E30-E80 in all my cars since the stations opened here in California in 2008. Nine years now. Zero issues.
That's what made sense to me, but figured maybe I was missing something.

Has it been that long now?? .... wow....I remember back when you converted to E-85 and then set me up. So many skeptics and unknowns.... but what a terrific alternative fuel
it turns out to be for the Evo community. Lot's of smiles per miles. There were pitfalls but being pioneers it's usually that way. Cheers....

I figured out why I felt such a difference now. Today I pumped and saw the 53%-83% sticker on the E85 pump now ))): guess this means I have to tune back for my 91 lol

Is your station Pearson Fuels or Propel? My current station is Propel & is still noted at 70% min

Ive been checking the content & it is always a solid 85% content. Get yourself a tester to verify (see link). Very likely your content is 85%

Thanks. Yeah I should test it. It's just I've been getting E85 from it ever since I was tuned for it and this is the first time I've seen that sticker too but I will test it next time I pump! Mine is propel too.
