E85 FUEL Legislation

The price for gas in Georgia is lower than the rest of the country. Currently, I am around .40 cents higher than you.

They cant decide what they want to do fuel wise. My car is dual mapped tune (91/E85) while I agree that using corn as a fuel source probably isnt the best idea, it's widely available here and my car runs like a raped ape on the E tune. Oklahoma just recently went through a deal (other states as well) where we can no longer get 100% 87 octane, so now our E85 blends are blended with 100% 91 octane and E100. As of this morning, E10 87 was $2.87/gal and E85 was $2.97/gal. I daily drive my car on E. Ill have to do some research as a backup plan because I hate the way the car runs on 91 octane.

Like Rob said, E85 is available from the race fuel suppliers but it's about as expensive, if not more, than race gas so that's about a wash. I was kinda backed into it instead of using 100+ octane due to the parts I had and combustion chamber "issues" with making it low compression for pump, so it is what it is. Worst case, if these E85 stations do all close, it's back to race gas for me.

Back to the top for some E85 love.

Fuel composition sensor so it is a true flex fuel vehicle. Dump in E85, fueling automatically compensates and adds timing VS alcohol percentage. Works out nice!

Agreed! Corn Farmers asked for help and we have been Subsidizing it. Now that Droughts have wrecked havoc across the Country, things have changed.

Switchgrass would have been the Ideal Source - the yield per acre is huge, doesn't take that much water to grow, etc.
