I live about 30min from the closes E85 station. Since I'm in CA and 91 pisstane just doesn't do it, is there a way i could build a profitable proposition to a gas station to put in E85?

 

there is but its such a long and painful process..30 mins is not bad..some live hours and have to tank n store there fuel back

 

30m is not too bad.

oceanside or pomona?

 

30 min!! lol i live about 30-45 min also. it sucks though i feel like a crackhead that needs e85 to survive.

 

Haha I wish i was 30 mins away from an e85 station. I live 2 hours away and I too store all my gas.

 

Wow. 30 mints - 2 hours to get gas? That's crazy.

There's an E85 pump a block or so away from me, and I'm still afraid to use it in case I go on a trip.

 

You can do a Tephra Map switch so you can just go to 9X octane when you travel.

 

^^ thats not a good reason lol.

Get a dual maps i believe thats what its called and when you go on trips just switcg over the your desired 91 or 93 octane?

 

Pump gas is just too easy...glad I have 93-octane here, plus my alt maps setup for 91-octane when I take trips.

If you really want to get E85 in your area just start bugging all the station managers/owners and hopefully one of them will eventually take the needed steps.

 

Well Since Ive been E85 crazy this afternoon, I found an article that this year they are installing 3 new E85 stations in Northern Ca, one of them being on the other side of town. Yay, I might have E85 by Christmas, or early next year.

 

I talked to Buschur about it once, and he was less than enthusiastic about using map switching for tunes for two different fuels, due to some fuel being left in the tank when you swap. I'd rather not blow something up, and we have 93 and 94 here, so it's not as bad as it could be.

 

i would be happy with 93 here in cali... but for now e85 will just have to do it.

 

No there is almost no way to get e 85 in your area i actually contacted Shell and they told me that it is the individual gas stations choice whether they want to carry e 85 or not but the gas stations who do get grants from the government. Come live in Chicago we have tons of e 85 stations.

 

He did it for my car without hesitation, did a 93 map and an E85 map.
