I've got a couple near me. One is next to my work (6 minutes away; 1.5 miles or so). I've got one in Laurel and Tacoma Park.

Thanks for the link!

That website has not been updated in ages so be careful to make the trip expecting something. The one they listed in laurel closed down a long time ago

I don't get this, why would you want E-85 stations?
Hell, I don't even like the fact that we have 10% mandatory around here.

Or are you trying to find out where they are to avoid them?

Flex Fuel and/or E85 kits are showing big gains.

I know of two in Annapolis. The Shell Station on Bestgate Rd right by Annapolis Mall and I think it's an Exxon right off 97.

The horsepower difference running E85 vs. pump gas can be very significant. I'd love to give it a shot, but I have to run pump gas.

Also that horsepower difference eats your car up? amirite?

That's my concern exactly.
It's my understanding that even at 10%, it's bad for certain components in the fuel system.

I also don't think all the components affected by the alcohol is replaced with the conversion, is it? Certain internal components for things like the fuel pump and things like o-rings, they are not replaced are they? (I'm really asking).

It's a big concern for me because I have motorcycles and it's been studied and found that small engines are indeed affected by alcohol content in the fuel.

I'm not worried with E10 in this car. The car is under warranty for another year and modern cars are tested with the awful gas offered in the US. I'm more worried about it in my older (pre-ethanol boom) cars.

You should/must tune the car to run on E85 or flexfuel. I'd definitely at least change the injectors or all that is recommended with the kits. I have no interest in E85 unless they change the rules for my autocross class, but I'd be running it if it were allowed.
