Where in NOVA can you get e85?
I'm btw Old Town and Mt. Vernon in Alexandria. Are there any e85 options nearby?
How do you search for them? |

Flex Fuel Finder If you plan on frequently filling up at the same gas station, I'd recommend buying one of these, Quick Fuel E85 Tester, so you can calculate the mixture more accurately. (Gas stations are starting to put in summer/fall, fall/winter, or straight winter blends. These blends are lower than 85%.) |

Ashburn
River Rd Georgetown I will never go to georgetown again, traffic is a PITA and that station is extremely isolated. Ashburn is way out and I've heard various things about their e85 percentages... I think River Rd wins in general.

Have any other E85 stations opened up in Northern Virginia?
I usually get my E85 when up in MD, but want to find it locally. I don't think the sites have some of the latest stations. |

They all mainly use the same distributors. cabin john Sunoco, Georgetown Sunoco, river road, and Frederick w express are all usually around 87% ethanol content as far as my testing shows.

Why do so many more stations in MD carry E85 vs. Virginia?
Is NOVA anti-E85? Or is it a demand thing or what. I hate driving 30+ minutes just to get a tank (5 gallons hah) of E85! Or to another State |

Probably because Virginia is so conservative and borders on being a Communist state
