If you have a flex fuel vehicle (or are considering buying one), check to see if a station is near you:

still only 3 in Canada I wish to see more stations to offer E85 in the Great White North

Slowly building momentum, but according to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are roughly 125,000 gasoline stations in the U.S. (gasoline stations have the N.A.I.C. number 447, I believe), so E-85 has some market expansion to be doing!

Wouldnt it be nice to get an E85 station in New England that is actually where people could use it..

 

[TequilujanSS]

God, still none in Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley. RETARDED!!!!! Have you any idea how many of these damn E85 tahoes and crap are running around over here?!

 

[crooner214]

The only 2 stations anywhere near me are at military installations. I'm not real sure on this one, but I do believe the general public isn't allowed on base.

 

[johnny smallblock]

Still none in NYC. You know, where a lot of people care about the environment and buy from companies they perceive as being environmentally friendly? Great idea not to have a single station here. There are literally hundreds of gas stations in the 5 boros and the fact that they haven't put in a single pump is really missing an opportunity. Have they even tried?

Have 4 back home in Omaha..........but considering our size vs. the rest of the country, I wish those 4 had gone to bigger, more important markets.....

I've been eagerly awaiting one since we got our 2008 Z71 Tahoe. There's a couple in DC and one in Annapolis, but I hardly go down that way.

Those that have E85 available, what is the price per gallon? Is it cheaper than 87 Octane gasoline?

 

[Cortazzo]

There are no stations in the north east and NYC because there are no ethanol producers around here, and ethanol is expensive to truck to far off destinations because you can't use normal pipes.

198 refueling station(s) within 100 mi. of my town.....LOL

Salt Lake County, Utah. One million population. LOTS of GM flex fuel vehicles. One E85 station buried in the back of a Chevron that only takes VISA/MC (you can't even pay cash inside) and is about the same price as unleaded regular. I know the issues but it still sucks.

It about adds up...... The smaller cities are left out completely and for some reason there is more in MN. There still isn't nearly enough stations around for most of us.

Interesting how it still doesn't add up:

yeah really, one in massachusetts isnt cutting it. neither is one on L.I.

 

[bobojay]

Closest one to me now looks to be about 10 mi. vs 34 before. Moving ever closer!

Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, TX. will be opening up their own E85 station March 28th!!!! I've been waiting a long time to see one in my commuting route. Once I get my ducks in a row, I'll be browsing their lot for a flex fuel Malibu........

That's because the Minnesota taxpayer and the federal government are subsidizing the ethanol industry.:rant:

They should ban that e85 crap !!:barf:

Well, if you want to ban E85, then you need to ban ALL oil subsidies, and that INCLUDES going to war for the crap.

I don't like government meddling in anything. However, if they are going to insist on meddling, at least E85 is something positive, instead of blowing 3 TRILLION dollars trying to force the middle east to pretend that they like us.

It's to build infrastructure so that we won't be held hostage by OPEC. Imagine if all regular gas was replaced with E85 when we get boycotted for dropping a nuke on Iran or something.

It's in our best interest just like CAFE is...though I think they are going about that the wrong way.
