I get E85 in NRH,Irving and Carrollton Krogers. If I'm tuning I will use the Classic to refuel when I'm done.

Let me know when that % gets up there at 121/Coit and I'll run over there (live a mile from that station luckily). The darn price of E85 keeps climbing too, what gives?

It's not growing season any more? I'm not sure why Kroger is charging so much for their e85. I talked to the manager and corporate sets the prices. Looking @ E85prices.com, it seems we're getting the shaft.

I wonder why the swings in alcohol content. I think Kroger sources all of their E85 from Verasun, so you would think it would be somewhat consistant.

not sure. It is all from the same source, but I bet that the Exx is mixed in the tank, so they likely bring a truck in with E100 and pour some into the tank and then bring a gas truck in and put some gas in the tank... making something between E70 and E83 (the max you can get here in the states AFAIK).
