I was reading different articles about a pipeline running from Orlando to Tampa almost finished with construction as we speak. Id like to assume we should be getting our first e85 pumps our way sometime before the summer of next year.

Getting a handful of pumps between Hillsborough and Pinnelas county would be great.
I plan to convert to e85 full time, and gain the benefits of the high octane and cooler fuel burn for tuning purposes. Im sure you could get back some of your lost mpg by setting the tune much leaner and getting more mechanical efficency out of the motor with increased timing since the fuel is so knock resistent... I am stoked about its arrival, I hope it gets here soon!
I plan to convert to it also once its more available if I cant go electric first. How much are those conversion kits anyways? My car is pretty much stock but I would retune it anyways to gain some benefits
