I'm guessing it's still e70 here, but that's all I've ever been tuned on, it's still awesome. I wouldn't worry about getting a specific e85 tune vs e70, at least for a daily driver.

The easiest way to do it is to tune it with the best blend, then let it run rich when it goes back to the crappy blend.

It'll be more prone to knock with the winter blend though if you get it tuned on the summer blend. It seems like the few gas stations I've asked don't always follow a calendar or a timeline. If they don't sell a ton of e85 in the summer/spring, they aren't going to swap it out/order more until most of its gone. I would assume the same goes for winter blend.

You might knock on the worse blend though, it you are tuned to the edge on the best blend. It runs richer, because they are adding in more crap gas, so it's going to be lower octane than the good blend.

Most of the stations around here were E70 until the end of May, I can test the ethanol content, if you bring in some samples.

Someone was telling me about some place south of town that sells Actual E85, E98 and other race fuels, by the barrel too. Might be worth checking into if your looking for it, Otherwise unless your running over 30psi I doubt you would have knock issues even with E70 anywase.

I was going to look into it, but I don't have a place to keep it. My friend might though.
Please let us know if you find out where. I figured some co-op.
