Anyone use the InterState Oil E85 station in Vacaville?

Hey,

I was just curious if anyone has gone through the process to use this station, it's the only station in town with E85 that I know of since the Fairfield one stopped dispensing it. It's one of those unmanned stations where you have to use a key card. I drove by this morning and didn't see any prices posted.

The application says "there will be a regulatory compliance fee charged on each cardlock billing cycle" Just curious what that amounts to if anyone knows.

Would like to run E85, but it's not exactly real convenient around here.

Thanks,
Derek

At the time of this article, it looks like it is for commercial use only.

Try calling them maybe?

"Solano County residents owning vehicles with flexfuel engines can purchase high octane E85 now in Vacaville."

"Right now its location is designed for commercial uses."

LOL, I'm already confused... Yeah, you're probably right, I'll just give them a call.

OK, just got off the phone with them. Anyone can use it, just have to get a credit application. The current E85 price is 3.309 a gallon. They bill twice a month and that regulatory fee is $3 each time. So basically $6 a month to use their facility...
