Thanks again. Testing the % ethanol from the pump can be reliably done in less than 5 minutes, so it would be possible to easily calculate the ratio of regular to put in on a given stop if I know the target percentage.

Since there is only 1 E85 pump in my city and it is not close by I already take jerry cans with me and pick up as much as I can at once. This means that the amount of time required to test ethanol content is worth it for me so that I don't have to make the trip as often.

So, assuming I can reliably target a %E as described above, is there any other reason this would be a bad idea?
