Why would I care if it was? As far as I know, I couldn't buy E85 gas even if I wanted to.

You can actually buy it, but there are very limited distributors... The closest one to me is 100 miles away.

wow, you'd be crazy not to go get some

 

[jlee]

No - but the closest distribution place is three states away..so it wouldn't really matter.

 

[Pepsi90919]

there is exactly 1 station open in all of canada according to that website, and it's like 8 hours away

The only place in Northern California using the stuff is apparently Lawrence-Livermore National Labs, and they don't sell it to the public.

 

[Random Variable]

If you live in Illinois (which I do) they are apparently all over the place.

 

[farmercal]

That's great, they give a vehicle the ability to use an alternate fuel source but have no place to purchase the alternate fuel.

 

[Drakkon]

i didnt know the dodge ram is E85 compatible which makes me wonder why the 4.7L dakota isn't...i mean they run the exact same engine

nevermind...figured it out...only a certain submodel of ram

 

[Random Variable]

I just found out that E85 actually decreases fuel economy (although you're still using less gasoline overall). That sucks.

Yeah E85 is by no means a stable replacement for traditional gasoline. Personally I'd use Bio-Diesel if I had a diesel car.

[thirdeye]

Wow apparently my Titan is, too bad I'd have to drive 4 hours to fill up

 

[jlee]

How much does this stuff cost?

in my area its 50cents cheaper than whatever gas is currently...

 

[Brainonska511]

I don't think it is offered in my area, but it doesn't matter since I drive a 1997 Ford Taurus GL (which according to the list is not E85 compatible).

Edit: After checking the VIN # to see if it was E85, it came up with a no there too.

 

[Heisenberg]

Huh, there's bunch of them in the state here. Two right in town. Not that it matters, since I doubt any of my cars are compatible.

 

[Rogeee]

I don't think my 1970 Chevy C10 shortbed is

No results found. Go back

I could put a couple gallons in my 1995 Chevy Van, and then fill with 87 reg.
but why bother.

 

[Bartolo]

Nope

Ethanol is NOT sustainable. It's extremely bad environmentally.

 

[drum]

I did a deal on this in college and at that point it seemed that it was most available in Minnesota and got more sparce the further away you were. with the exception of a few stations in CA

Like, duhhhhh.

Ethanol contains less energy per unit than gasoline.
