Any local database for local drivers to log the ethanol % at E85 stations?
 
I'm not using a flex fuel kit and lately I've noticed my LTFT hovering over 10% (usually 15%) when I load up on full "E85" from Propel pumps. I always end up having to add in another 1.5 gallons to bring the LTFT down to 7% ish.

In an effort to not be so paranoid, I'll be purchasing some 5 gallon gas cans and an ethanol tester to try to mix a consistent mix of fuel. Just wondering if there's an ongoing list somewhere already, if not i'll just update this thread :)

The only gas stations I go to are the Propel pumps on Beach/Warner and Goldenwest/Edinger.

Whoops totally forgot about this thread. But my ethanol test tube came in and I've been testing the E85 at the Goldenwest/Edinger location.

3/22 and 3/29 fill ups have shown to be 85% (+/- 2%) both times. I end up mixing for an E70 mix though so I've been throwing in 8 gallons of E85 and 2 gallons of 91. Here's a log of 3 WOT after casual driving for 5 miles. Using the Stg 2 EL E85 stock OTS map.

Yup, that thread is more on variances rather than running at straight 85% E85. Straight 85% E85 would result in +15% LTFT for me. I haven't checked for leaks and will not until after I install my header in a few weeks. My plan is to slowly move up from E70 to E85 by MAF scaling in the future.

I'm back on E85 again and the ethanol at the Goldenwest/Edinger Propel tested right around 85%. I read on an EVO forum that California pretty much always has E85 at 80-85% since we don't have such drastic weather changes compared to the east coast. Couldn't find that thread to ask more but has anyone had any experiences with E85 here in socal where it's possibly 70%?

Nov 5, 2015: 85% still on Beach Blvd
