Anyone given thought to just buying a drum of e85 and not worrying about all the testing and such,I believe its still way cheaper than race gas and the quality is there,This is the route i think we are going to take when we convert.--Steve
funny you should mention it by the drum. I have gotten e85 in a 5 gallon race jug from the same store 2 times this week. first jug tested as e-78. then the 2nd one tested as e84.
I just took a job with a fuel delivery company working in the shop. I had a guy in the office call our distributor and get a quote on a 55 gallon drum of e98. the rep was on vacation and not at the office, but told our office guy that he could most likely do it for around $1 to $1.50 per gallon with a minimum 100 gallon purchase!!!!
so looks like I will be buying 2 drums of e98 and mixing in the 87 octane gas myself to get it to e85. now I get consistent fuel AND will only pay around $1.75 to $2.00 per gallon after mixing!!!
if I don't use all the fuel in a season.......then I'll just put it in my Flex Fuel Ram truck. win,win,win!!!!!!
