    Use that with the Cub Card and $0.06 off coupons they email out every other week... I think I got $0.22 off a gallon yesterday. (double coupon Tuesdays)

    Do you guys run E85 year round or just when it's warm? (I'm coming from Phoenix so I don't know these things.)

    I run year round. No issues

    I have found that people who have a good tuner don't need to worry about switching.

    It's great to run it here in Phoenix with how hot our summers are but it's hard to find and costs about $3.50/gal.

    I'd love to switch when i get back to the Midwest.

    I was worried this Holiday might be clearing out their E85 and going to stop carrying it (because their prices were considerably lower than anyone else, even other Holiday stations nearby), but I noticed they have these signs posted around:

    [​IMG]

    I guess it's some kind of promo their doing. Prices just move up and down along with the pump gas rates. They were as low as about $2.17, but now I think they're up around $2.39 or so.

    At these prices (~33% less than Premium) it's actually cheaper ($/mile) to run E85 than pump gas!

    ^^ its a marketing deal, they are seeing if people with flex fuel cars will use e85 instead of pump gas if the lower the price makes the bad gas mileage deal actually worth it.
    EDIT: just saw what you said under the picture, durrrrrrrrr

    Yep, anyone from the forum can stop by the Holiday on 252 and get E85 for $1.20 less than normal gas. Just tell them you know "xluben".

    I did, they then grinned and tried to fondle me. As not to offended the owner I did not object.
