Crazy, I had been told that cali was E85 100% of the time, this chart says otherwise...strange!

E85 stations are few and far between in Hawaii.

So make sure you live on an island that has a station, and how far away could it possibly be? 15? 20 miles? WHO CARES!! YOU LIVE IN HAWAII!! hahaha If I lived in Hawaii I wouldn't even own a car. I'd go everywhere on a motorcycle.

Re: E85 1/2/3

haha well I don't know, I've never been there, I was just guessing. But I'm sure there are islands that don't have e-85 on them, so if that was a must for you, I doubt you'd choose one of those islands.

I wish the shit would just stay consistant. Or that link would log a content meter and adjust like real flexfuel cars.

It can take a while to drive around some of those islands.

I just use 92, I don't like dealing with the changing E85, not worth it for me.

Re: E85 1/2/3

We basically have 2.5 months where we have straight e85, all other months are less. Im really thinking of getting one of the ethanol moniters.

Re: E85 1/2/3

E85 is totally worth it. But yes the constant changes suck.
Luckily they sell it by the barrel

Re: E85 1/2/3

I have never had mine running year round. But I know some of you have. How often does the tune need to be changed? Just wondering, mabye someday I'll quit tearing it apart and drive it year round.
