Looks like I'm going to use the Chevron/Propel Station on Grand in Oakland by the lake.

Ya that one is good I hit up that one and the Propel Station in Berkeley off University.

Go hear to see a full list of stations. http://e85vehicles.com/e85-stations.html

The one in Sunol off Andrade exit is the cheapest. I filled up there last weekend for 3.00 a gallon.

Propel are good stations Grant. I use the one in Redwood City and have used the one in Oakland. Tested the E and hits e85 everytime with my Zeitronix.

+1 Propel stations are the most consistent. The fremont station and the station off Montague/880 are the ones I use for my STI and are good.

Sweet. Yea I did a ~60/40 mix (6.3xx gal E85 for full tank).
Pulls like a BEAST. Honestly more so than the 100oct I had last.
But that also might be from the new firmware too.

I just moved out here from Tennessee, land of $3.20 93 octane and $3.02 e85..i miss it dearly hahaha

Not sure how to determine if the E85 is good but I ran on COBB Aggressive Stg 1 301v with a 50% 91 Oct Mix at Shell at Fremont Auto Mall & a 50% Mix of E85 at the Chevron on Stevenson in Fremont with no problems for a whole tank.

It's pretty awesome to have an E85 source thats close to work and school.
