Trip thru Michigan fueled by E25-30 blends.

I stopped at the Iron Mt. Michigan Freedom Express station on US2, Meijer stations in Gaylord, Traverse City and Birch Run for splash blending of ethanol. Most of my splash blending attempts resulted in upper E20 blends as reflected by the scanguage values of lft of 13-14. My mileage varied depending upon a variety of factors. I had readings of 29.8 and just under 28during this trip. The price spread at Iron Mt. was 11% while the Meijer's stations offerred a 14% spread. No cold start issues or other. I have to travel 27 miles miles one way to find the nearest E85 pump in southwestern Pa. I will bring home a red Jerry can filled with this so I can continue E20 blending.
