    Around here, I just go on the computer and check for area stations that handle it. We're getting more locations all the time. Should be making it to your area eventually.

    Sounds like E85 would suit my 34 quite well especially since it likes to gobble up the 93 octane stuff like it was liquid candy. Only downside is that I have yet to find any stations carrying it in my area. It seems as if we are the last to get everything.

    we wont ever see it out here in cali, E-85 breaks down too quickly for it to be shipped out here and then distributed to stations..... as well as it also has increased hydrocarbon levels compared to gasoline, since we're the smog law state, we wont be selling it ... but we do have some of the top research going on for hydrogen fuels going on right here in san diego.... so not all hope is gone yet.... i still say we drill in alaska and open up one of the largest untapped oil supply's in the world.... oil prices would drop very drastically, and we could keep it for ourselves
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
