Help me get E85 in Santa Rosa

I have Flex Fuel through DT. I commute to Vacaville for school from Santa Rosa, so I can get E85 on the way. The closest location on my E85 finder is in Napa. Is anyone interested in trying to do a petition or something to get E85 in SR?

It allowed me to link Chevron, Shell and Valero, but that is just through the website. If I get enough signatures then I'll show a few more local businesses.

It might be beneficial to link show the distributors as well (Pearson, Propel, Sunoco, etc).

Yes! I live in Healdsburg, but work in Santa Rosa. The only reason I jabent gone to E85 is because there isnt any here.

Have you tried sharing this on the local FB groups (NorCal, Sac86)?

No because I don’t have FB. I was thinking of getting on the Mustang, Camaro, Vette, etc forums too. I’m going to also try to reach out to the owners of the stations.

E85 is awesome. I’m going to cry if Santa Rosa doesn’t get something by next year because I won’t be commuting to Vacaville by then.

I emailed Flyers, who has a station in the area, and who has an E85 plant, but I had no reply.

I emailed Pearson’s who supplies E85 to the pumps I use out of area. I got two emails:

Hi Justin,

Thank you for taking the time to email us.
Unfortunately, there aren't any contracted sites in Santa Rosa, that is not to say that our development team is not working on opening one in the area.
I will personally submit your request to the department and make an announcement if and when a site is available in the area.
Once again, thank you and have a great day!

Julie

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your email. We are working on the Santa Rosa area, but we have yet to find a station owner willing to move forward. For some reason, we haven't been able to get traction in the area, but we are re-focusing our efforts on northern CA so we'll hopefully have something very soon. We appreciate your business and please feel free to contact me anytime.

Thanks,

Greg

I appreciate that they replied to my inquiry. Hopefully things will change. Maybe the petition will be the catalyst.

The fact we have e85 in Napa still blows me away, and it's only two gas stations lol. Good luck!

Yea, it is odd. I don't know if it has anything to do with Napa being close to Sonoma Raceway, or just closer to Pearson's other stations along HWY 80.

I doubt it has anything to do with Sears Point since there are 3 cities closer to the point than Napa
