Help Get E-85 @ local tracks!
This is something I posted over @ my Evo forum but it has to do with anyone running on or interested in running E-85

OK so as some of you know I have been in contact with Jake @ propel fuels

I have discussed with him the possibility of getting E-85 stations on or around our local Race Tracks.

He has asked me to make a list of potential customers at each proposed site along with estimated consumption

So Here we go!

Thanks for doing this, lack of e85 pumps at the track is my #1 reason for not getting an e85 tune. I will definitely use it more if it's available for track days.

Is that supposed to be consumption just for each track? Or how much I would use each year during normal DD too? Can you request e85 @ Buttonwillow and Willowsprings also?

Anyways, here's my info:

they want to know how many gallons you will consume at each station

what I'm doing is taking everyone's yearly numbers and then dividing them up to give the future gas station owners / operators an idea of what they can expect on a weekly or monthly basis

if you guys want E-85 else where you can go to propelfuels web site and hit the contact us button

its harder to convince them to put pumps @ race tracks so this is why they've requested a little more info on how it would sell.


*edit*
this means if you happen to live by the track and they get e85 there you should add up you DD consumption as well

he ran 20-22 track days last year


which adds up to 750ish gallons (plus I think his local to the track)


charlie claims 800........not sure how many track days he does.

I agree, I am in the Oakland Hills, and the closest E85 pump is in Hayward. I would have to drive 25 miles round trip just to get gas.
