I'm running straight E85 from a specific gas station that I've tested (twice) at >80% and you can get away with that WELL in the meantime, I've just started travelling which makes it inconvenient consistency wise even when I CAN find an ethanol station that's not pawning off E70 as E85. I know friends who always fill at the same station, but still saw throttle responsiveness improve after going true flex fuel (even a 5% scaling difference matters). I wasn't getting a "pure" blend until 2-3 full fillups after running the tank dry each time, and sporadically have to take the car back in for warranty work (IE: they don't care for E85), so that's why I push the kit so strongly.
As for kit suggestions: get the
FA20Club.com kit, you WILL NOT be disappointed. It's been around the longest (with no incidents), has high quality hardware (including a "better"/longer sensor) and is backed by someone trustworthy that's quick to respond to any requests/issues/concerns you may have.
Sorry to beat a deadhorse, I just have yet to hear a single complaint about FA20Club as a vendor, and that's about as likely in my experience as bumping into a unicorn during rushour traffic. :P
