E-85 in Central Florida?

Does anybody know of any E-85 stations in Central Florida? I know about the one at the Turkey Lake service station on the turnpike. It's expensive there. $3.35 last I checked.
I know about the two Sunoco stations in Ft. Pierce too. The one on Okeechobee Rd. was $2.95 last Saturday.
Those are the only 3 stations I know of within 75 miles. Anybody know any others? How about in Daytona?

Yeah there seems to be a serious shortage of E85 stations in this area. I see your location as Cocoa, if you have an Air Force or NASA ID badge there are two e85 stations on property but they are not publicly available without those badges. I haven't ran into any E85 stations around other than the one you mentioned on the turnpike.

One is at the Citgo station on Michigan street off I-4 close to the 408 (where I get mine).

People in the Orlando 86 club with flex fuel claim good E content too about 78% in the winter. Maybe better now.

What's the price there? That should be closer than Ft. Pierce. But the tolls in Orlando are killers. The last time I went to the turnpike it cost like about $10 for tolls. Ft. Pierce is free (I-95).

Not sure of current prices im on 93 now. Typically its about 20 or so cents less than regular. This weekend I'm going to get some and I can confirm. As far as tolls it about 5-6 dollars to get to I-4. You don't have to take the 408 though there are back roads just look at the map.

Also when do I get a ride in your ESC powered car

Thanks. I'll give you a ride whenever I get my controller back. I had to return it to Rob for repair. It's been gone for almost 2 weeks now. Rob only had it for less than a day. He said the problem was very minor but that's how long it takes to go from here to Canadian Customs to Rob back to American Customs and back. Right now it just left San Francisco so I should see it by the end of the week. It's driving me crazy driving around without it.
I'm thinking that next time I go to Orlando to get fuel we might be able to meet up.

Sounds good man look forward to it. So did you grab e85 in orlando recently? Wondering what the price was? I forgot last weekend and accidently filled my tank with 93

BTW hope you get that ESC back asap bet the car feels really sluggish now...

I miss the days when anyone could drive on base...

If you found a sponsor, family/friend member that works out there you might be able to get a temp badge.
