Here is a pic of the E85 pump near my joint. took a pic while I was there today for you. Price has gone up too was $1.05 the other day. It says on the label on the pump that it isnt for public use but spoke to the attendant and he says that it is there to stop just anyone filling there car up on E85 that isnt converted to run on E85 and having trouble.
