yeah i think its kinda funny that you see all these newer cars that have FLEXFUEL on the back or E85 approved......but where the hell do you buy it and is it worth it mpg wise??? I personally have Never seen it for sale..or at least not widespread over many gas stations

There are only like 4 public stations in GA that are listed as carrying it. MPG wise, you get LESS MPG, however it is a good bit cheaper and the mileage difference isn't tremendous. It's worth it if you live near one of the stations that carry it. E85's cheaper, and with a higher octane rating than even premium. Just...good luck finding it.

Try drivingethanol.org There is a station in Smyrna/Marietta area that I buy from. Corner of S. Cobb Dr. and East/West Connector. Its a Texaco. Besides that, the only one I know of is in Perry, Ga.

Wow that's pretty amazing, but for $516 for a 4 cylinder kit..kinda expensive. If you're a honda just socket, chip, and tune. Dam cheap ass hondas lol!!

E85 does however give a nice octane boost. It contains less potential energy than regular petrol, but you can run more bewst if you have a turbo car.
