Redwood city next for E85 station!!
Thanks. I understand now.
So, for DD - it's really expensive. May be for weekend car.... I think I need to get a frugal gas sipper for DD if gas go up beyond $5.

Ya just not the best gas mileage. LOL
Think I got somewhere between 18-20mpg. Thats all highway.
Highway and city it drops to around 13-14mpg
Ill be switching to my 91 map soon. E85 is costing way to much now, not even breaking even. Its fun as hell on E85 but not when it starts really dig into your pocket.
12 gallons of 91 at $4.49=$53.88
12 gallons of E85 at $3.93= $47.16
Im saving 6 bucks and getting alot less miles.
On average I get about 180-200 per tank on E85
Cant recall what I get on 91 bc its been so long since I ran it in the car.

To me its still worth it. figure how much it would cost in mods to get the car from 280/313 to 335/395 just using 91 as fuel. then calc how long it would take to hit that $ amount running E85 - my guess is quite a long time
My average mpg on E85 is 11.5, and i cant see a switch in my future (unless i make a long road trip, hell i need carry 4 5gal jerry cans just to safely run ~300 miles total in the day when i hit Laguna.)
