how many gallons of E85 for...
 

I live in the North San Jose area, so how many gallons of E85 I need to bring to have full 5 sessions Thunder hill and back?

Does anyone have this experience?

Thanks

Depends on how fast you are.

I run a supercharged FRS. The car goes though 1 gallon of 91oct every 5 minutes of track time, 12 gallons an hour.

On the extreme end E85 can use 30% more fuel. Worst case would be 16 gallons an hour of track time.

You will probably use between 20 and 27 gallons of fuel for five 20min sessions. Less, possibly a lot less, if you are new to driving on the track.

You can calculate your freeway mileage requirements.

I fill up my car and 3 5-gallon jugs at "Oliver Gas" on Oliver Rd in Fairfield. That is enough to comfortably drive to T-hill, 5 sessions, and back to fill up at the same station on my way back to the Peninsula. I am NA on an OFT E85 tune

In that case, I 'll think that 15 gallons will probably safer for me since I live a little bit down south, North San Jose.

5 Gallons + left over for track.
10 gallons to go home.

Thanks

If you fill up at the Arco in Woodland on your way there and back you should be fine with 5 extra gallons. But I would take 10 just in case.

This is for NA cars. FI I have no clue lol

There are 3 ARCO in Woodland, do you know which one by any chance?
I couldn't see on google map lol

I use this site to figure out where the e85 stations are. It's kind of buggy though... but it works. Oh and some of the listings don't exist/closed, so do a little background research before driving there on empty :D

Just fyi, I can perfectly fit six of the five gallon cans in my trunk, which has the OEM rubber liner. I bought them at a local Friedman’s.

Dam, thats alot of gallons. But i think 4 of five gallons will work to go to Thunderhill and back

I did this before but it was years ago. 15-20 gallons should do you. You can always fill at the not-so-far away E85 station to make sure you'll make it.
