E85 users in the San Jose area rejoice!

For those who are running or plan to run E85 in your car don't have to go Concord or Hayward anymore. My brother just told me the Chevron on 680 Commercial Street now has E85. Even better is the price:

^ You could always convert your car to run it. I know plenty in the Evo crowd do it, and I do know one suby that runs E85.

Heads up to anyone running it..... The Hayward station is bunk right now. They are at like E60 right now cause of a mix up of some sort.



BTW E85 is AMAZING. If I had to go back to 91 at this point I think I would just sell my car.
