Anyone in NOVA running E85?
So I searched around and didn't see anything specific to NOVA (around Fairfax/Vienna/Tysons) about running E85.
Are there any stations up here besides out in Warrenton or in DC? I am asking because I wanted to eventually get the Jackson Racing SC with the high boost pulley. I read in the FI thread that you can run 93 pump gas but it is not recommended even with a really good tune and you should run E85. I guess I could always not get the HBP and run pump gas but where the fun in that. Is anyone currently running the JRSC with HBP around here on pump gas? If so who did you have tune it to make sure it was safe or where do you get E85? Thanks! |

Yes there is a station in Ashburn.
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol_locations.html What engine management are you running/going with? We sell a flex-fuel kit for the FRS/BRZ. |

there are at least two people who run E85 in the DMV without issue that I know. I don't know what they're running underneath and such, but they get by just fine on fuel.

I live in Tysons. The closest E85 stations are in Ashburn, Bethesda, or Potomac. It's kind of a pain in the ass.

I run e85, but I live in Bethesda, MD, so I've got one station right by my place.
One thing of note, I have noticed that every Sunco I have been to that is listed on what ever random site, doesn't actually have e85. |

I run E85 on an OFT tune. No issues once I get it started....
I fill up in Warranton. For whatever dumb reason, my local Wawa just installed ethanol-free pumps, but didn't see a need for a fuel that people actually want....
