Is there an E85 shortage or is it just a local thing? First it was one station, then two... Had to go back to 93 octane because E85 is getting hard to find.

Lately I've only been able to find it at one station locally, and before there were several.

I am assuming that both those vehicles he is standing in front of are bullet proof gas guzzlers because they weigh 6 tons each. :cwl:
actually no, there’s a video somewhere of him driving that all electric jeep on the south lawn for some strange reason…

Electric Jeep? Are there plans to put random charging stations in the woods, desert and mountain tops? Oh wait... That's why you take the generator with you.

BTW... no E85 at my local station lately either.

Still getting e85 at my gas stations, which is weird, because nobody grows corn in California.

I kinda feel weird picking it up in my EV and sometimes pouring it into my Tahoe, but that's the post-Covid world for you.

No shortage in So Cal - plenty of E85 that is >85% EtOH everywhere. And more stations are popping up regularly - s'all good for those of us who run dedicated E85 tunes.

Weather has not been kind to corn growers around here. I grill a lot of corn every year and this year it has been hard to find and expensive, like $8 a dozen.

I've had no issues here in Michigan this year, plenty of stations with E. Also, the quality has been consistent like around 85%
