Maybe try petitioning them for a station in Healdsburg. There are some small independent stations up here.

I doubt it has anything to do with Sears Point since there are 3 cities closer to the point than Napa
One night while filling up on E85 at the Napa station there were two guys there with a pickup filling up containers of E85 as they were at an event at the Point with their GTR, and they couldn't source fuel anywhere else.

They complimented me on my ride.

Just an update. I have continued to email companies in the area. No confirmations yet on a pump going in, but I will keep working.

My temp solution is to store some E85. I have six 5-gallon gas cans that will fit in the trunk perfectly like crazy tight perfectly. I will fill up in Napa, which is a 25 mile drive then have 30 gallons until the next fill up. I only drive about 5-10 miles a day average, so that is 150-300 miles a month, which is 10-15 gallons a month roughly, so that should be good for three months, roughly. I can always top up when I travel out of the area too. This will have to work until I get a closer pump.

Big Update!

I just randomly checked Pearson’s app. There will be an E85 pump going into a gas station off of Todd Rd and 101! I just called to confirm, and the guy said sometime by early next year it’ll get installed and approved. This is great news.

We had the same hope in Stockton. The date kept being pushed back and now is no longer happening. Hope yours works out

That’s a bummer. I wonder why. Apparently this owner keeps getting calls and people stopping in the store ever since he put up a sign that E85 was coming, so hopefully that is an incentive. I plan to buy other stuff when I fill up to support the store.

There are three new E85 stations added around Clear Lake where my brother lives, and there are three pending stations in the area around Santa Rosa. One in Santa Rosa, one in Petaluma and one in Healdsburg. Many more have been added.

On another note: I have 30 gallons of E85 if someone wants to buy it off me. I will be doing a K24 swap, and I don't need it immediately. I can just top off your car if you can take it, or you can buy the jugs and fuel, or we can fill up your jugs if you bring some. Whatever works, and we can figure out a fair price. This is in Santa Rosa.

Petaluma E85 station is now open! Hopefully the Santa Rosa station and Healdsburg station comes online soon.
