E85 in FL?

Where do Florida folks get E85? I am in Sarasota and can't find any via Google close. Maybe Tampa, St Pete?

Someday, I am going to realize that E85 posts are not about Z4's without having to think about it.

Nice, so do you load up the tank each time you want some, or do you take some cans to save for later?

The only one near Tampa is within MacDill AFB, so you must have base privileges to get it. It might also be for Gov use only.

I am running Cobb.

Most people are running a 50/50 mix so you would fill your tank 1/2 of E85 then go to a different pump and top it off with 93

Would anyone be willing to buy 55 gal drums, delivered? Obviously it will be more then E85 but it would still be cheaper then race gas.

Maybe, obviously I would need to actually find an e90 and buy it before I committ, but that would save the hassle of a 2 hour round trip drive just to get some. Any idea on the cost?

If I got a few orders I could get a few drums and haul it up.
