I haven't but I was at Bollinger's the other day trying to get them to spill the beans on other locations and he mentioned this as well as WaWa. I would assume they all get their E85 from the same supplier since they are few and far between.

Is Bollingers a reliable source now? I have gone back in a month there. Wawa won't open until feb, but that's great news !

Looks like wawa's and Thornton's will be sprouting up soon around the bay area...approx 10 for thorntons and 8 for wawa...e85 users rejoice! !!!! This is amazing...I see 100% blends in my future

Will definitely be more convenient not having to rush to Bollinger's after work to get gas before 6:00.

Saw this on my way home from practice on Sunday and was wondering the same thing. This might sway me to think about E85 blends since Thorton's is much closer than Bollinger's.

Tried a 50/50 blend...at 2.99/gal its relativity cheap.
Avg ignition correction value = 0 17.8 peak psi @ 5000rpm Fuel trims are about where they should be, and power is there. I would say it's a reliable source.

Price isn't bad compared to Bolinger's at $3.79.

Decided to give Thornton's a try last night since I was still getting timing corrections from Bollinger's E85. I didn't get a chance to log last night but will get a few pulls in after work to see if they clean up.

Thornton's E85 cleaned up my timing a ton. Still a few corrections in Cyl 5 & 6 but I am still in the middle of being pro tuned. He will make those go away with the next revision.
I am going to order a test kit to see what the difference is between Bolinger's and Thornton's. Also, I drove through the WaWa lot the other day which is being built and set to open in February and I did not see any E85 pumps. |

I can run a full 50/50 @ 18.7psi peak @ 3,500rpm with Thornton's with 0 corrections. Also your bollingers log looks like mine in regards to correction on cylinder #1, it's dissapointing. Forum member Gohr sent me logs of both bollingers and thorntons as well, he had multiple corrections on one of them, i'm sure you can guess which one

The log I took last night had zero corrections. I just ordered the E85 test kit and will post the results when it comes in. My guess is that Bolinger's E85 is going to be very close to the 70% level.

I ran 5.5 gallons for a full tank of 93 mix. I did get some timing corrections but under 3 degrees.

My E85 test kit hasn't been delivered yet. However, I stumbled across a pleasant surprise on my way to the Thornton's on gulf to bay today. There is now a Thornton's on the corner of Starkey and Ulmerton which is much closer to me. It must have just opened because their own web site doesn't even recognize the store.
