E85 stations are all over the metro. you have 3-4 right in the roseville area.

You are probably right about not making 100whp, I forget you evo dudes run a lot more boost on pump. I just talk from what I experienced so i apologize.

My E85 mileage suffers minimal compared to what everyone seems to be crying about. 25 to 28 pump to E85 highway and I think only 1-2 mpg city.

Either way, I'm interested and have my fingers cross this ETS FMIC does the job.

I live off Lexington and 694, the nearest E85 station is something like 5 or 7 miles away when there are 3 BP stations within that. It just is not practical.

5-7 miles, that's nothing, you just have to get used to filling up when you are out already so you don't have to make special trips. I think i drive 4-5 miles to fill up typically. Totally worth it!

But it's not super convenient so I do understand where you are coming from.
