I have looked around and all i can find is that krogers and HEB's sell it. I just figured there would be alot more than that. I cant plan my whole gas experience around one dam kroger! you cant even pick up chicks at a kroger gas station people just think your being to cheap to pay for shell or what ever lol. Anyone else seen any in north texas?

I never really thought of that, but yeah its pretty much just Krogers and HEB. HEB has those cool new pumps, i just noticed a few weeks ago, you can purchase a fuel treatment or octane booster and it shoots it into your gas tank along with the gas.

i never knew that lol. I never really buy gas from wal-mart or sam`s club. and sams clubs`s gas stations are retarded. you have to be a member of sams club to buy gas.

Curious why you are looking for E85? Checked your garage, didn't see anything for High CR or Turbo...so I have to ask...why the E85?

A lot of people aren't aware that the E85 is actually a 107 octane gas. Running this in our cars you won't get anything better, and in fact it will likely yield poor results. The only benefit of running E85 is in the newer "flexfuel" type vehicles mainly because the ignition and fuel maps in the newer ECUs are set to adjust for that octane.

If you don't have any way of tuning the engine, running E85 is not suggested at all. If you are turbo or running a High CR definitely get a tune setup for E85, but remember once you tune for E85, that is all you should be running unless you get another tune for 91-93 octane.

Houston Hood > Dallas Hood, word has it many import show venues avoid H-town alltogether due to many haterz lurking about. Add the many E85 pump stations to the equation and you got yourself a heavenly village!
