I went to sheetz convenience store down the street from me... I jumped for joy when I saw this. Every pump has this... like 20 seconds from my house!!!

That E15 looks to be only 88 octane.

I'd combine that full E85 with some good top tier like Shell V-Power for best results.
 
Yes it is only 88, the fuel in my area is from the gods no matter what station you get it at. Ajp told me I have great fuel.. I usually get it at sheetz or bjs wholesale club. I also have an inside source on fuel. It all comes from the same place...

...You lucky....

When I started tuning with AJP we thought my sams club fuel would be top notch, probably based on your experience with BJs fuel. But its sub par, so now I'm probably going to be mixing E85 in from this point forward.

Yeah when you said bjs wholesale I cringed but your car kept taking the spark I threw at it...I wish they were all like that....That 88 octane E15 seems to be a waste...It must be a bit cheaper but negated by lower mileage and not really any performance gain?..At least how I see it.....So the E85 pump isn't E85?

I think the e85 I get at amerigreen is the same, up to 83%... it's got a big difference in percentage prob because of the winter fuel.

Yeah, usually the only differences are the additive packs but apparently those can make or break a fuel.

Sounds like the fuel gods have blessed your area.

In these parts, Speedway is trash but V-Power likes to eat lots of spark and boost when added with some corn.

 
I switched and mix one gal of E85 to 3 gals of v power after a covo about getting E30 right from the pump may not be as good.  But at the strip with my tune I have been trying to get dialed in for some reason its pulling timing like crazy.  I'm also running #10 nozzle with 100% meth.  Cant figure out what the deal is.  The mix does make a difference but probably only with the tune correct

This is my next step, since all the 93 ive gotten thus far seems to be junk. 3 gallons of E85, top off with 93 V-power, mix fuel, datalog, pray I can bump up the tune!
 
well i'm not blessed with 93 octane here but am lucky enough to live close to the only station in the state that mixes their own E85 that is ACTUALLY 85% ethanol all year round. the track sells E98 also

there is only 1 station with 93 octane in the OKC metro but we're lucky to have plenty of E85 pumps and access to E0 gasoline. The closest gas station to me has E85 and E0 gasoline on the same pump with different hoses. I mix 3.5 gallons of E0 Phillips 66 91 octane with 8.5 gallons of E85. This gives me roughly 95 octane at E23 (currently with 80% ethanol in the E85)
 
We just got the same at our local sheetz too!  Definitly going to work on an e20 mix here soon.  So are most people (with 93 available) mixing 93 + e85?

I want to take some measurements of actual e content on these when I start too.  Its such a big range...

Can i even run e85 (or a mix of 93/e85) in my 2010 sho or does it have to be a flex fuel compatible car?

That would be a question for your tuner...and its critical you adhere to the mixing requirements...e85 is not to be added haphazardly
