Reply to comment by Nighthawk9997 in E85 stations in RI? by [deleted]

I’d be making e30 right now but flex fuel support just came out for my platform. A few more mods and next season it’ll be ready for full e85.

N54?

Yep. And an n55 daily driver. I like headaches and boost

Lol I love BMWs, but if I ever buy one it would be something with the B58 engine, or the N63 if they did some upgrades and pumped the reliability of it!

I’d get a b58 all day just can’t afford it. Modern n54 but way more reliable. I am so deep into maintenance for both of these high mile cars that the only thing to do is keep them forever. They are in awesome condition with very low value because of the mileage, so they are here to stay.

Yeah man maintenance is a key for all cars and as they say oil is cheap but engines are expensive, will I hope they last you forever, and I will check that gas station for e85 and report back to you.

Thanks. If I ever find local e85 I’ll let you know. Closest I’ve found is Cambridge.

I just checked the East Greenwich station they don't have any E85, but you use the cat scale to weigh your car!

Bummer back to no e85 anywhere closer than Cambridge. Why is it like this here. The scale is a nice consolation prize.

Not many people use E85 around here, yeah the scale is nice.

I bet it’s because not many people SELL e85 around here lol

I would have brought a 55 gallon drum and ordered me some E85, but the E85 is hydrophilic thus it will absorb all the moisture from the air and becomes useless.
