It had their name on it, but they didn't make it. It also no longer exists. All that spamming of forums constantly and they still couldn't keep that program going.

I've had my best luck with Exxon. BP is good too but nearly nonexistent here. HEB has some nice E85 that always tests 85 to 90% here.

We only have one HEB up here, but no E85. Hell, back in Houston is don't think many or any of the HEBs have E85.

Kroger is always good for E85 when you find a station that has it.

Opinions on Kroger gas? I'm running a tank right now and might see what my logs tell me.

A friend that runs E85 here tested the HEB here and I believe it was 94%, and its like 60 cents cheaper than the other option around here which test lower.

Something else to think about D, is just because you're having to pull timing doesn't necessarily mean you're losing power...the opposite is true.

If you're running too much timing and the knock sensors are pulling timing, then you are losing power. You want the car to run to where it makes as much power as it can without any knock. Most cars I've had made more power with less timing. Every car is different.
