In a pinch it makes for the most bang for your buck when you broke. I know about Speedway at New Cut and near UorL campus. Who else has them?

I don't know exact specific gas station locations, but I've noticed pretty much all the Thorntons around So.Indiana & Louisville have E85 pumps

Are you trying to get worse Gas Mileage? Trying to reduce the life of your gas engines?

Great website with list of E85 stations and price spread. Has to be 15% cheaper to be same value as it contains 15% less energy compared to the regular gasoline which is mostly E10.

No. I don't always have the money for a full tank of regular gas, so sometimes $10 of E85 can carry me until I can get 87. I don't get all that bad mileage and my CVPI is flexfuel.

1 gallon of E85 has 73% to 83% of the energy of one gallon of gasoline . (variation due to ethanol content in E85).

1 gallon of E10 has 96.7% of the energy of one gallon of gasoline.

While the full tank of e-85 makes you feel good, you should figure on getting 73-83% as far on a tank vs regular gas. The trade off is cost vs distance traveled.

...I know...it depends on distance traveled. Which isn't always more than 20miles. Very rarely is it just E85 in my tank. I usually use it as filler, so there's always a blend of it and 87.

Also E85 tunes are getting real popular with Turbo builds...must be worth it in some sense.

I was just at the Thorntons off of Lewis & Clarke Parkway (Clarksville, IN) and they have it there. And I know the Thorntons in Jeffersonville has it as well
