How did you do the swith over to e85, did you have to drain the tank fully, or could we fill up with e85 with a gallon of 91oct mixed in?
I've been anxiously waiting for this tune. Looks like the bayarea has a good selection of E85 stations. This is a link to locate E85 stations and other good information regarding E85.

garfull, I've been on e85 for the last 10k miles and fill up mainly in San Jose and Redwood City. I've only ever seen fluctuations between 75-81%. I think the advertised minimum is 70% too. Not sure if they change the blend for The winter... but I guess I'll find out soon
