Default E85 in San Antonio

I'm currently gathering parts for a turbo build and I've been considering running E85 mainly depending on it's availability in the San Antonio area. Just checking to see if anyone here knows where I can find it in this city. I'm new to the area so I'd really appreciate any feedback!

Cool thanks fellas! I think I better stick with pump gas and meth since this is my daily driver. I was thinking E85 would be more common in SA.

I know several cars the run e85 here in SA. It's not that hard to get to and gains are totally worth it. I myself am converting to e85 as well. You should still get 150ish miles to the tank and if you can't get to store with that then I dunno lol. Either way ya go good luck and post some pics of this turbo build

I know for sure of two, the Valero across of the IBC near 1604/CULEBRA, and the Valero on the side of Ingram and 151. From what I heard from another boosted sa fbody guy was that mostly all newer Valeros have a e85 pump.

No meets or car clubs yet. I just moved here about a month ago and I've been stuck out in the oilfield for most of that time. I'd definitely be down to go to some meets though if I'm off and I somehow find out about them. I haven't really had the time to meet anyone here yet.

Well damn now you have me re-thinking! I'd say I'm about 50/50 on whether to go with E85 or not. But it'll be a couple months before I have all the parts I need for the turbo install so I've still got time. I appreciate the advice.

If that is true about Valeros there is a very good chance I'll go with E85. Thanks!
