Default E85 in Boise and Oregon

Needing some help locating E85 before I do the switch. E85locator.net only shows 3 stations in Idaho and 3 in Oregon. Does anyone know if these places are blends or straight E85. Might just have to stay 93 with meth. Any help in appreciated!!

This is the only one in Boise I can find on the net.
Stinker Stores, 2323 Main St., Boise, ID 83702

You may be able to find some at the few gas stations you can get race gas at, but usually you have to have an account at those. There is one around Emerald and Five Mile I think? I will try to look the next time I go near there and get the name of the place also.

There is a station downtown Boise and one in Nampa. Usually they have very high mixtures of ethanol, like 90%.

The other station is in Lewiston so that's not going to be an option for you.

Holy crap these stations are rare here but plentiful on the east coast. Why hasn't the demand picked up here? 3 stations in Idaho and 6 in Oregon but over 300 in Illinois, Ohio, Indian and Iowa. I know the stuff is made there but figured the stuff would of made it out here by now. This sucks, makes the thought of switching to E85 hard and would rather stick to 91 with Meth.

Too many Prius owners in Oregon. That's all I can think of.........in other words, not many flex fuel vehicles. Also suspect our local gov't somehow mucks it up.

I heard you can get it somewhere down on 7th ave near Belmont....I heard.

I am building a turbo 5.3 for my Nova, and would really love to run the stuff. But short of buying some 55 gal drums, and driving to Donald to fill, not real practical.

I am thinking of running it also, maybe we should all talk to people like Lucas English who loves and see If he can convince some more stations to use it.

It would definitely be nice to see some out here. Too good of a benefit!

They have a Sinclair that is claiming to have E85. I'm going to go there now to try to put some in and see what it is and will let everyone know if it's true because if it's the same place I'm thinking they don't advertise E85.
