Wanted to see if anyone had tested the e85 content at the stations that sell e85 in the DMV region, and if so could you please share your findings?

A new e85 station has cropped up fairly close to me in Manassas(Sheetz, and actually listed as e51-e83). Though it help if I am only spiking the fuel to make sure I have at least 93 Oct for my tune(Fuel near Fairfax has often been found wanting). I am unable to use any of my e-blend maps regularly since I never know what the actual percentage of ethanol.

I am trying to avoid breaking out a science experiment at the pump every time I refuel.

Would be helpful to have a cheat sheet of sorts, so I can at the very least run a mild e30 tune regularly, since I spike my fuel often anyway.

Thanks, and looking forward to your inputs

That's a negative ghost rider...E content is not something you want to gamble on hearsay. Even if someone filled up a couple hours before you, that doesn't mean that a truck hasn't filled the pump with E70 instead of ~E85 in the meantime.

Maybe get steve's bluetooth analyzer kit or something.

Valid point. I've been erring on the side of caution. Running a e25 tune with a e30ish blend. Driving as much as I do, measuring e content every time I fill up gets old really quick. Been looking into Steves kit, but as you know FMIC upgrade seems like a more immediate need Weathers cooled down so not super urgent, but my right foots getting heavier, and the 5" cant keep up.

PS I know youre in MD, adn I visit there often. Where do you usually fill up. MD for some reason is a lot more e friendly.

If been hearing good things about the new e85 pump at the Exxon in Woodbridge next to Potomac Mills. I don't personally use e85 yet but I see a few Evo's and Gtr's filling up when I'm in that area. Shoot me a price on that 5".

Theres this Sunoco out in Ashburn. I live in Fairfax but its the only station I go to fill about 5 gallons more or less every time. No complaints but I also have no idea of the actual content.

Update checked Sheetz Manassas a few times, and they are e70 almost always, higher if you get lucky, though sticker says E51-E83 (unlike Sunoco, which has a sticker "minimum e70", and always is e70 or e85 in summer) Good option if one lives in Fairfax, closer compare to Ashburn.
