Everyone who is running E85 FYI the station at Fort Mill exit off I-77 has it again!

Now there are three in Charlotte.....




*** Everyone watch out for the Fort Mill BP station carrying E85. Travis's car and my car both started running weird after putting that fuel in. It was so bad in Travis's car that his wouldn't even start. Mine would start but it is also parked in a garage and I'd have to finesse it to get it to fire. Second gear pulls were crazy and you could tell something was off.

I'd wait a good month or so to let them get the quirks out of it because something is definitely up with the E85 there...

FWIW it was tested close to 98% Ethanol

Hey guys, I'll be heading down to Charlotte on Friday to finalize a deal for a IX pending an inspection. Could someone point me in the direction of a reputable shop in the area, most of the ones that were linked previously seemed to be closed or don't have working websites? I also looked up CIN and Speedstyle but would like opinions from locals.

I am not familiar with NC whatsoever, so the closer to the dealership the better. I'll be buying the car from Godspeed Motors. Thanks in advance!

Are you just getting the vehicle inspected or looking for some thing else?

Just an inspection to make sure everything is buttoned up. Mainly leak down, boost leak and compression test.

Also, I already called shift fast, they're closed until Monday.

E98 will make the car a lot leaner and cold start will be terrible with it as well! It also could be dead, some companys let it sit to long because they cant sell it as fast!
