mattsage Champion Author Buffalo Posts:4,502 Points:724,675 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: May 29, 2011 8:04:06 AM Ignore mattsage Report Abuse I'd love to run E85 in my '09 Silverado but I'd have to drive 50 miles to the closest station that sells it. GasBuddy should list E85 prices.

LockTight777 Rookie Author Rochester Posts:29 Points:85,125 Joined:Nov 2010	Message Posted: May 3, 2011 11:50:27 AM Ignore LockTight777 Report Abuse It would be nice to have e85 prices posted here, http://www.altfuelprices.com/ lists all the nearby stations, it's not updated to much though, http://e85prices.com/milesperdollar.htm has a nice calculator to compare gasoline vs e85.
Tigerj Rookie Author Rochester Posts:16 Points:3,370 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: May 1, 2011 2:54:08 AM Ignore Tigerj Report Abuse e85ethanolprices is also another site. But the problem I find with E85prices and others is that they are not as active as GasBuddy and they are hardly updated. There are 9 stations in our area and right now some of the stations have a 25% spread, or more, on the cost for E85. E85 $2.99 to $3.99+ for E10. When E85 is 20% or better in cost, it tends to be the better buy even though you get less mileage. [Edited by: Tigerj at 5/1/2011 2:55:25 AM EST]
MilestoneMotors All-Star Author Allentown Posts:605 Points:390,345 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Apr 25, 2011 1:37:16 PM Ignore MilestoneMotors Report Abuse I just bought a 2011 Chevy HHR. It's a flex fuel, but I didn't buy it just for that, but I would like to see it as an option on the site, and it would be like most people who just post regular only prices... just ignore non-important info and focus on what's important to you. It's really just a simple programming addition to the site to add e85... maybe they would consider if enough of us sent suggestions for it?
yankeerugger Rookie Author Omaha Posts:57 Points:880 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Apr 21, 2011 9:39:24 AM Ignore yankeerugger Report Abuse great place, post e85 prices, don't be bothered with all the irrelevant gas only stations... Plus the forum isn't bogged down with ill-informed bigoted ethanol haters!

paulp24 Champion Author Harrisburg Posts:4,676 Points:848,825 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: Apr 18, 2011 2:18:02 PM Ignore paulp24 Report Abuse And GAfasthorses...this is not for the 10% ethanol added to regular grades. This is for an 85% ethanol blend that is for cars specifically designed to burn it. It will not work in your old pickup. I am not a huge fan of the government investment and specifically using corn to make it taking from the food chain but it can be made from a ton of stuff like switch grass. If it can contribute to reducing our dependance on oil its worth a shot. I would like to experiment using it if I can find a station.
paulp24 Champion Author Harrisburg Posts:4,676 Points:848,825 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: Apr 18, 2011 2:10:06 PM Ignore paulp24 Report Abuse It would be nice. For the almost 2 million cars GM alone produced that run on E85 it would be helpful. The stations are few and far between. If not a tab perhaps a search feature to find stations? I just checked a local station and the price of E85 today is $3.09. Even with reduced milage it is worth the trip at todays prices for regular.
