im in delaware but the station here switched to e70. Im looking to get this from a supplier or someone who has access to real e85 or e98. The Rockett brand stuff comes out to almost $9 a gallon. Im not looking to spend a arm and a leg.

There are placs that will sell you e98. There is no need for companies like rocket brand etc etc when it comes to ethonal. You can buy e98 direct from most ethonal plants.

we would have to get our Hondas in Nascar trim to outrun the cops if we carry E100.

Miller is ahead of all of us with his 180 mph rocket.

Miller the moonshine express.

you can order a 55 gallon drum from vp but it will come out of Tx.

E98 is most classes carries the same weight penalty at Methanol. We use to run it until that rule was implemented recently. Not to mention it isnt exactly the easiest thing to get your hands on here on the west coast.

I believe that INDY is the only body that is allow to run E100. they 2% cut in the fuel to make it E98 was to avoid the alcohol tax. But you can still drink it! just a BAD after taste.

^^^ I feel your pain I live less than 5 min from VP Atlantic and they said they dont deal with Ethanol of any sort, and its not listed on their price sheet.

Just use the E70 thats what I used to get tuned it worked well in my car, just have your tuner make you a map with roughly 5% more fuel for the change over back to E85 when it warms up, besides you want the E70 in the winter starting my car with E85 in 30deg temps was a PITA

Gonna bump this old thread, because 2 years later and i cant find a good supplier to get e85 or e98 in the northeast "upstate NY"... I want 55gallon drums. If anyone knows where i can pick it up or even order it and have it shipped to the house that would be great. Sick of paying $17 bucks a gallon for race gas.
