Good fuel or lack of it

[SHOthyme]

There is 1 station I know of in MN that does e100 but it is crazy expensive and like 2 hours away from me. Otherwise e85 is everywhere around here, just on my drive home I probably pass 5 to 7 stations with e85. Most of them are e70+ from what I've seen, but there's only a couple that have e85/93 in one place, most are 91/e85.

EDIT: Minnoco Gas stations here also have Pump e30 there's lots of those around here too.

I stopped using Minnoco, it would've been sweet not to have to mix but it killed my OAR, now I just use the Holiday stations. It is top tier, albeit 91/e85, it keeps my OAR at -.96 and I have their monthly car wash to keep the rust away.

Where is the e100? I haven't ran across that one yet.

This is valuable information

Ran across is on my way to a wedding in Brainerd, its was like a little mom n pop gas station can't remember the name of it but I stopped to fill up before I had my e30 tune just to grab some 93 and saw that right next to it on a separate pump.

Ahh, close to BIR... that makes sense, I was going to guess up there or the one down by the track in the south metro (elko). They have 100+ octane there at one of the pumps. Although, the last time I was there was quite a few years ago, so they may not have it anymore. Wasn't worth the drive anyway.

There's a St Claire (i think) in buffalo that has c10 and I think the minnoco in plymouth off 169 has 100 oct. Been awhile since I've been over there.

So e100 is pretty rare.

Dunno if you have Sunoco stations in your area, but search on this site for stations with their race gas. The stations that have a pump with it will rarely advertise.

The only Sunoco I knew of was in Golden Valley, MN and it turned into a Minnoco when they took over all the small time stations.

What kind of fuel near you and what do you run?

Well used to get nothin but 93 at shell but the past couple years they dropped to 91 so usually that, there is a sunoco here so once I get a few more issues figured out i might look at a 110 tune, but im pretty sure itd be better to go e85 or e50 as they burn alot cooler
I'm pretty interested in the e85 as I've heard it allows you to run much higher boost numbers, but it sounds like we have to have an XDI to run it

How much is 110 per gallon?

 

[SHO_Off420]

Somethin like 8 bucks a gallon lol

F that. E85 is 1.80-2.10 a gallon here.

 

[SHO_Off420]

Yeah but you go through like 3x as much e85 as you do 93 or 110.
Thats why you usually have to upgrade injectors too e85 uses a shitload of fuel

I saw a couple stations with pump e30 traveling back To Indiana from South Dakota. I was wondering what the octane was on that stuff.

Roughly 33% more fuel consumption. On 93octane I was getting an average of 22mpg and now on e85 I'm getting 16mpg. This is averaged over approximately 10 tanks each. Which I tried to behave but occasionally ran hard from a stop and up in the triple digits.....but overall this is at 80mph for 2hrs at a time and Roughly 15min in city driving.

E85 from sheetz is around 106octane according to their rep.

By the way guys, 90%of octane boosters are total crap so take a good look at the ingredients before you buy. I believe royal purple, Lucas, 104+, and amsoil have all been tested to truly boost octane

I used torco and octanium with measurable results. Torco worked the best by far.

Wrong, about the 3x as much.....
