New E85 Locations

I don't know how many people live in the little elm area but we have E85 out here now. I talked to the owner of the gas station and all the new Valero gas stations that are being built are going to have E85 at the pumps. Also a new one is going up on 380 in Little elm\savannah.

Here is the address for the one in little elm.
Valero
11801 Fm 423
Little Elm, TX 75068

Good find Josh!

Not sure if the price was just high for the holiday weekend, but I paid 2.39 at the new Valero on Sunday (still 20 cents cheaper than 87) and on my way to work Monday, the Kroger in Carrollton was 2.01 for E85.

That's cuz it is. The Martin Eagle is E85 and the stuff from Kroger isn't ever that high.

Good to know. Maybe if I talk to the owner of the trend setting Hall's Gas Station in Colleyville off Glade/121 they will start carrying it. It is a Valero and also is the only gas station afterall that just got approved to sell hard liquor in Colleyville.

did u ever get to test the E85 from Denton? im just speculating but from AFRs and driving that is what is feels like.

plus when i fill up with the Kroger stuff my car starts up easy in the cold weather....with the E85 from denton i have to crank it a few times.


EDIT!!!!


i just read in the other thread that it was tested at E85....good to hear its actually 85% E

there's new pumps going in at Kroger at Parker and Tollway... don't know if they'll have E85, but I'd venture to say they will!

Bourbon is always distilled from corn; other distilled spirits that may be distilled from corn include whiskey, gin, moonshine and vodka. Most of the commercially available vodka is grain-based (corn included), not potato.
