E-85 in Austin, Tx.

I’m looking for fuel stations in Austin, Tx that has E-85. If anyone knows for sure a station there, and if their E content is worthy of using, it’d be much appreciated.

This site has been accurate for me. It's how I found some e85 pumps I didn't know about.

The Vallero in Cedar Park (183A & New Hope) that I use has a bunch of E85 pumps. Not sure where you are in relation to that, nor do I know the quality, but throwing it out there.

The highest quality E-85 I tested at above 70% ethanol was at VP Fuel in Round Rock. Seems that there are a few HEB's down south that have it as well, but I'm nowhere near William Canyon.

Another question… is this closer to 35 or the opposite side of town? I’m coming from the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. I’m headed to Hondo, so I’m hoping it’s closer to the direction I’m headed, not 35.

Ok, great news on that. I appreciate that as well. Do they seem to have it on hand regularly?

All the time. Although I haven't had to fill up with any E-85 since the Ukraine conflict and would just give them a call beforehand (512)846-4006

It's not close to 35 at all. You will be better off with the Round Rock suggestion.

I appreciate all the info guys... Unfortunately I won't be able to make the 1/2 mile event due to a family emergency. I'll definitely keep the info though for future needs though.
