I stopped at the Wexford, Pa. GetGo station for more fuel. I was about 1/2 empty running approximately an E30 mixture. I decided to decrease the ethanol blend by adding 1.4 gallons of E85 to 5.4 gallons of E0 in my 15 gallon tank. My scanguage II LTF values varied between 8-14.7 (around +12 on level cruising sections) on the 27mile ride home. Thus I believe I am running a blend between E20 and E25. The price of E85 was $2.49 while the gas price decreased 14 cents overnight to $2.59. The spread is poor and the station keeps it at a 10 cent difference. As for mileage on the way home (27 miles), my Ford dash readout reported 33.8 mpg which is .8 mpg better than my last trip home which was in mid 40F degree weather compared to today's upper 30F weather. I can't say the mileage is much different than what I would have achieved on E0. I forgot, I also brough along a red Jerry Can that had maybe a 1/2 gallon of E85 to which I added 3 gallons. I will add this to a future gas fillup.

After I pulled away from the E85 and moved like 10 feet to a E0 pump, a black Chevy Impala pulled up with a 20's male driver. I normally don't see individuals in that age group pull up to an E85 pump. I didn't get a chance to talk with him as I had to head inside to pay for my fuel and he was gone before I returned.

If I can get an E85 pump within 10-12 miles of my location, I will spring for an E85 ocnversion kit. I just can't justify doing so at this time without local access to E85 pumps. If one goes to www.e85vehicles.com, they can obtain a special deal on E85 conversion kits.

I try to report back within 8 days.
