There are only 2 e85 stations in all of New Jersey. Thankfully almost everywhere has 93

Even 93 doesn't exist here. Only 94, and I've only found that at 2 stations... one that is an hour from my house and another about 45 mins. 91 is available everywhere as top grade premium gas so that is all I use.

I think the Battery EV's, Tesla, Bolt are the stpping stone to Hydrogen Fuel Cell. I built a few Hydrogen Fuel Cell projects at the School I worked at and they were amazingly easy to construct and maintain. Safer than gasoline vehicles as far as fire goes. And no the tanks don't explode

That sucks man. Get well soon.

I bet the car fared worse than the raccoon. Those things are tough little buggers. I hit one once, only going 25 or 30 mph or so, but he didn't go splat or get sucked under my car. He held onto the front bumper and didn't let go until I stopped, rolling off. By the time I got out to look at him he walked away. Consider me impressed.

Yes. I did it with a 91 NA tune before I went FI. Shiv and I went back and forth sending files email. He would send a new tune, I would load it then go out and do a 3rd gear WOT to redline and send him the file. It was fun. You need a safe long freeway on ramp or someplace to safely do the pulls. It was a very good tune in the end.

With my FI setup and flex kit, the difference between my 91 tune and my e85 tune is 70hp. That is amazing to me.

I actually lucked out pretty good. I'll post up a few pics. All I'm gonna need is a new front bumper. I drove the car the following day after hitting it and it drives like a charm and my cricket friends are still chirpin haha.

The grille and the little side grille vents where the fogs are look all reusable so it shouldnt be too bad. the worse part is a crack that goes straight through the bottom side of the bumper.
