What did it say?

I tried to find it but could not...are they bringing E85 over?

I will definitely go this route...and with Jarrad coming over in March (he's been using E85 for a while now so is very familiar with it)...it will be sweet to have our cars tuned with super octane fuel!!! Jarrad said his car puts out 360whp on his Mustang dyno using 91 octane...when he uses E85...it jumps to 420whp...second map of course, but thats crazy on a DD.

Thanks for the link Lo. I was on my phone and the link broke.

But yes, I wish the gas will bleed out to outside stations despite the price. Build #2? Nah, too soon...

you can always pull a fast and furious and jack the E85 as it is being trucked in. then we can all have a big party at the beach where we can set up a make shift gas station and sell it.

just a thought......

Start putting in some calls to Aloha! Maybe if they see there is a demand for it, they will put it in a station somewhere since they are already bringing it in.

Aloha,

My name is Juston and to be honest really only signed up for i-Club for this exact thread. I am more of an American muscle guy instead of Imports; but don't let that get in the way of accomplishing a common goal.

I have contacted the fuel distributor that supplies the Marine base with E-85. He tells me if I can demonstrate a number of customers who want E-85 that he will try and make it happen for us. So, the purpose of this post is to garner your support in getting E85 to the 808 for everyone not just military members.

So, I am starting an electronic petition that I can then forward to the fuel distributor and hopefully get things moving in the right direction.

You can PM me, email me, or simply reply to this post giving your name, email address or phone number while also clearly stating "I want E85" to get this horsepower party started.

Template:

Name: Juston
Location: Oahu
Email: E85forthe808@gmail.com
Would you buy E85 if fill stations offered it: Yes, I absolutly would!

Thanks for your support, I hope to have my inbox flooded with emails!

Edit: Also, if this is something you would really like to have happen. Feel free to give my email to people you may know outside of the forum so that they too may sign the petition.
