Local E85 on the goldcoast Australia is currently $1.42L AUD (Premium Pump is at around $1.80/L) But our fuel prices vary wildly over a week, sometimes upto 20c/L

So near on $6 US a Gallon here in Aussie Land.

As for Fuel Consumption. I do a near bang on 50/50 mix of highway and very very hard driving.

On premium pump i was at around 7-8L/100km
On E85 i am now at around 10-11L/100km.

So overall the price per km/mile is around the same give or take. I just visit the station more often to fill up. No biggie considering the benefits

What happens if your car is tuned for e85, then all of a sudden due to some unforeseen circumstances (like during a far roadtrip, or middle of the late night, or driving to a far away track day, or driving out of state, etc., etc.) you find yourself needing to fuel up in an unfamiliar or remote area but can only find reg gas...will your e85 tuned car still run on reg gas in case of emergencies? If not, then an e85 tuned/running car seems like a big hassle and handicap.

Also, anyone know where to get e85 in south orange county ca?? I see there's 1 in fullerton in one of the previous links; but a bit far.

You know what's lacking in here? A sweet shot of the pump showing the beautiful octane rating of E85



Also it's 2.89 here
