| Availability of E85
Does anyone know if its possible to purchase E85 fuel in Canada and where?
I post on other forums down South and have found that E85 can support tons of boost and power. I have never heard of anyone here using it though.

I remember a few years back when I was building me race car, there were rumors of E85 coming here and husky was going to import it.
I built my whole fuel system to support E85 because it makes rediculous power and its cheap. Those rumors were squashed about a year later, as far as I know, we will never be getting E85 here, or atleast not in the forseable future.
But you can buy 200 galon barrels down there and import it yourself, I have considered this, but I just import race gas instead, cant be bothered.

When I was down in California, most gas stations had E85 available for about 10 cents cheaper per gallon than 87 octane.

All E85 stations in Washington are listed here. I don't know where you cross the border so some might be closer than others. Washington E85 Gas Station Locations
My guess would be Snoqualmie.

That's why Arcade opening up is pretty awesome.
Kinda doesn't help you much since your kinda far from both of them though... |
