E85 in Clearwater !!!! I drove by Thorton's gas station on Gulf to Bay, and saw an E85 for sale sign. It was listed at $2.99/Gallon while 87 Octane was at $2.97/Gallon.
If E85 can make it across the bay to Tampa, I'll be switching to an E85 tune soon, I imagine.

If E85 is more expensive than 87 it is silly unless you need higher octane. When I run E10 I get ~16.5mpg. When I run E85 it is more like 12. E85 is hard to get so road trips get limited...
I'm 45 min. north of Tampa, gas is around $3.15ish for 87. I'm also enjoying that the 99 Silverado I picked up sips the low octane stuff, and gets about the same mileage as the cammed and geared Z28. Good times.
