Curious. E85 prices near you.

[Funco4Me]

In AZ, we are sitting at 3.40-3.50 as well.  I have started following this AZ group, as they test it and usually give a price.

Crazy that cali is at or cheaper than AZ for this... Must be subsidized by the comifornians.  Finally a plus 1 for you guys.

Thanks for the FB Group tip

You bet.  I have a 55 gallon oil drum that I need to clean and then going to go fill.  Still need to figure out how to transport, store, and pump it out... seriously might be just leaving the 55 gallon drum at home, and filling the 5 gallon pails.  IDK yet.

I have a 55 gallon drum but its a pita to move. so I've been using these 15 gallon jugs to transport and then syphon to 5 gallon cans to fill the car.

Really surprised at the local prices compared to last year. Yes regular gasoline has gone up but dam. Seeing the stations around me at 3.40-3.50 a gallon.

$2.85 in the O!

I usually load 2 to 3 drums in the truck when I go to fill up. When I get home unload them with the skid steer (or you can roll them off on to a mound or tires) and store them in the garage. I just load a drum or two into the trailer when I head to the dunes. I use this pump from Amazon to pump the fuel out into other containers.

What fuel are you pumping? The reason II ask is that one looks like it's good for oil and diesel, but gas or alcohol, well not so much.

Of the only 5 or so stations in the Phx area that have E85 the price has jumped at all of them. Last couple seasons it was $2.69 - $2.99 a gallon but now is $3.39 - $3.49 a gallon. Still better than buying drums of race fuel.

You're buying true e85, or flexfuel?

There are 5-6 stations that still have true E85. Last time I got fuel for my Mustang, it was E90 at Val Vista/Broadway.

I use it for E85 and I used PTFE rated hose and o-rings. The impeller and case is steel and the impeller vanes are plastic but so far have been holding up. If they break down I'll just buy a new pump (since they are cheap) or make brass ones. I use a long hose to go to the drum so the pump is away from it when running. It is a solid well built pump and works great but I guess use at your own risk.

It varies from E85-97 and if I need to I cut it down I use flex fuel. Reference the facebook group listed earlier.

I have found GasBuddy to be pretty accurate.
