Tampa Bay E85 locations?

2010MSPORT335i · 10-22-2013, 10:26 AM

Hey I am moving back to the Tampa Bay area. Specifically the Clearwater area. I searched around a little and saw some e85 stations but couldnt find a conclusive list of all of them etc...

I was thinking we could comprise a list. Post up the name and address of each location.

Thank you!

Someone told me the Thornton gas station along 60 has it. On the right headed towards Clearwater beach.

2010MSPORT335i · 10-22-2013, 10:29 AM

Yeah after making this post I noticed that as well. Curious if anything in North Pinellas has it.

Jlm826 · 10-22-2013, 10:48 AM

I think that is north pinellas isn't it? Or pretty close. Only place I know is Brandon and south st Pete there is suppose to be one

There is a Thorntons on the corner of Ulmerton and Starkey as well.

I've been wanting to do this, how much do you mix in with 93 octane? Also do you get any performance gains?

Jlm826 · 10-23-2013, 01:25 PM

Suppose to be pretty good gains for just adding fuel. Most people run between 30-40% e85. So fill your tank up to around 2/3 or 3/4 and then the rest with e85.

JStang · 10-23-2013, 03:35 PM

You need to do more than just add E85 for power. Adding E85 result in higher octane rating which allows you to run more timing and / or boost. You need to be properly tuned to benefit from it in terms of power.

+1. I just found out there's e85 station in Sarasota so I will be going there Friday to start experimenting with mixes. I got JB4 so should be good to around E30 I hope.

Jlm826 · 10-23-2013, 06:58 PM

I meant to add have a tune like jb4 on map 5

klepikovp · 10-23-2013, 07:03 PM

You should be good then to my understanding with jb4 with just map 5. That's what I'll be doing. At least for now...

Jmejia · 10-23-2013, 07:59 PM

The highest octane in Tampa besides a performance shop will be the Sunoco on dale mabrey near sligh they have 100 octane.

How much does that run a gallon?

Jmejia · 10-23-2013, 09:28 PM

I haven't checked it in the past month it was $7.50

Jlm826 · 10-23-2013, 09:51 PM

Damn! I'll stick to 93 and e85 haha

Glopez5 · 10-24-2013, 05:35 AM

Just mixed me some 75% 93 and 25% e85. Took couple of wot but holy cow that is a nice little boost with jb4 map 5 and injen sci.

Yeah the stuff is amazing!

Jlm826 · 10-24-2013, 08:42 AM

I wish there was one closer to Wesley chapel. They are all so far from me that I'll burn a 1/4 tank of gas just to fill up again
