calgator73 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Local former bp stopped selling it...nowhere close now.
02suburbanZ71 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 My local bp has 112 octane. I think i'll give that a try in the summer. I wonder how much pinging i will have lol
MikeNH Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 My local bp has 112 octane. I think i'll give that a try in the summer. I wonder how much pinging i will have lol I'd pass. It'd be a total waste of money. Also some race gas still has lead in it I think and that'll wreck the cats and O2 sensors.

MikeNH Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I've seen stations here sell race gas. At $6-7/gallon. All set, there are more fun ways to pretend you're in Europe.
WendysOrBust Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Yea, using race gas is different than running e85 in our trucks since it will not adjust timing accordingly. Now if you get it tuned on 112 octane.... thats a whole different animal right there.
Wk05 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Are there any long term effects to running E-85 in your truck? I've never had a vehicle that could use E-85 before, and in my area, I can run it for (not a lie) $1.40-$1.50 a gallon. About .40 cheaper than 87.
austingta Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 It's 1.22 per gallon here, so I believe you...LOL I expect it's fine . I use it and it sure does perk my engine up. I swear it shifts better too.
Wk05 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Looks like I will be giving E-85 on the interstate for my upcoming trip! Thanks guys!
KARNUT Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Im thirteen months on E85 now, the only time I don't use it is on a trip and cant get it then its 89- 93 gas.
sdeeter19555 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 See, the only two or three stations stations that carry it around here are nearly the same price as regular unleaded. And those stations are nearly 30 miles from me. If there was a closer station, I might try it.
fuse36 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 E85 is more expensive here then regular gas and the poor mileage. They can't even get rid of it at the 3 stations that have it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
bigsapper Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Filled up today almost an entire tank. $24.89. ;)

scott19677 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Loving the E85 drivability. But mileage is down to less than 10 mpg. Its been really cold.
