LGT For ME Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 FYI guys I drove by the other e85 station in HR area the one on Colorado blvd just south of county line, they dropped their price to 2.99 to match the new one. It was up to 3.29 for a while. So hopefully they keep the price low so we'll have 2 options near by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005legacy2.5i Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Sweet! Let's keep this thread updated with pricing because all of the e-85 websites that I have seen do not have the Broadway station or the Colorado station on their lists.

SubieBlkOut Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I wonder if we could update it like you can on gas buddy. I agree though, lets keep each other informed. Question for the other E-85 guys, do you know of a station going up I-70 with corn? One of those sites says there is one in Idaho Springs but I just wanted to confirm that.

LGT For ME Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I agree with updating the link with pricing changes, as any $ I can save on gas I can blow on something else that is much more impractical, thus the mod life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamCO Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I filled up at a Conoco (I think) in Idaho Springs last summer. I called the number listed online beforehand just to make sure they weren't out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Western in Idaho Springs. I have used it for years. You can get to Glenwood and back (to Idaho Springs) using that station. If you are going further west there is a Gilco in Rifle off I-70 or one in Carbondale if heading towards Aspen. I've used them all and worked all over the state from Pueblo and Canon City on the south to Craig/Steamboat in the northwest. The state has enough stations for traveling that you are never screwed. The only real potential problem is if you are spending several days driving in Summit County, as that is a black hole for E85. But coming and going is very easy.

PutnamCO Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The Conoco at Alameda and Broadway is $3.09 and has been for about 8 months. Low grade gas is only $.09 more which is bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamCO Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just an FYI to fellow E85ers. I pulled up to the Alameda and Broadway station today and saw the dreaded yellow bags over the E85 pumps. I asked the cashier when they would be getting the next delivery, and he told there was still enough for me to fill up. I filled up and put the bag back on the pump. Not sure why they put the bags on when it's not totally empty, but I guess the pump isn't de-activated so you can still try if you are as desperate as I was today.

LGT For ME Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just filled up tonight at the broadway station, still 2.69/gal, but damn the pump was suuuuuuuuppppeeeerrrr slow.

SubieBlkOut Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Filled up last night.... still $2.69. I got 16.4 mpg that tank. Straight E-85. My car starts ok when in the garage but it was outside last week for a night and she wasn't happy about it.

Now I'm back on to all e85. I averaged 15.5 but there was a lot of snow driving and then I had to test out my new 21mm rear sway bar yesterday so that depleted my milage as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT For ME Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 ^^ in the garage overnight my car starts fine on all e85, maybe a crank or three more than normal. When my car is at work for a full 8-9 hrs and below 20 it can take 4-6 more cranks than normal but it starts right up... As far as mpg goes if I drive it like I want to I would have no probs getting 15mpg or less, but am "nice" 70% of the time. Subieblkout we should meet up sometime in HR and chat/compare, always good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Filled up last night.... still $2.69. I got 16.4 mpg that tank. Straight E-85. Not bad considering SOA reported 17mpg city/23mpg highway stock from the factory... Just curious about something. Have you guys running e85 on stock injectors compared your actual mpg vs what the electronic display says? How far is it off?

SubieBlkOut Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Mine has been really close but I think that is cause the way you tuned the injecotors. It seems like is reading within a few % just like it did before the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
