There are only two public pumps in fl. One in Tallahasse and this new one in Miami. There is another place in lake city but they cant fill your tank, you have to bring a drum.

How much higher is it? Is it higher than 110? The last report I read stated that you loose about 20-30% of your fuel millage when using E85.

you loose mpg the octane is about 110. The fuel also burns cleaner which keeps your motor happy and emissions won't be a problems if you don't have a catalytic.

I think the effective octane is higher than that Joey.

There have been some crazy results with E85.

E85 is not the same as gasoline. You need a lot more volume of it than gasoline.

1000cc injectors recommended.
