We only have 2 pumps in the Tampa bay area, one in Lakeland and one in St Pete. Thortons just opened up in clearwater and all Thorntons have e85. They are going to open up 15-20 more stores.. woohoo
Florida | Thorntons

Finally E85 pumps coming to the Tampa area
- Thread starter mofobucs is a thief
- Start date
Check out the corner of 301 and Bloomingdale, by the vegetable stand. They have already broke ground and have been busy on it for the last 2 weeks. E85 5 minutes from the house!! YES!!!
hell yeah!!!!!!!!~!
they said it takes 80 days from when they brake ground.
Always good to see E85 still expanding! :rockon:
thats what I'm talk'n about :rockon:
damn I wish they would put one in Victoria...I'd already have a drag pack ordered if they would. I want to drive the car to houston on e85...run a badass pass at HRP...then drive back to corpus, just for further proof what the ethanol and this car is capable of. All documented of course with pics and vids
E85 FTW, stuff is magic I swear.
Spent the last two days reading up on all the threads for E85.....need to start saving alittle more for a new fuel system!!!! Amazed at the numbers even stock cars can put down with this stuff.
Maybe in March it will be open. Time to start saving for the new fuel system:banana:
You could always bring a couple of 5 gallon jugs in the car for the trip over and the trip back. Dump it in at each location.thats what I'm talk'n about :rockon:

Good idea! lol. thats exactly the place I fill up.
I haven't told you this before...but my wife is the SEC reporting manager for Stripes (ticker SUSS and also they've spun off the fuel mlp SUSP). I've talked to the fuel VP craig scotten and I've lobbied to get E85 in EVERY damn new station they open! Lol! He thinks I'm nutz...but he loves the cobra! LOL. SUSS actually has just broke into the fortune500 and penetrated the houston market...I'd assume you will start seeing them in DFW 2013 or 2014...with E85 pumps! :rockon:
Ha Ha. I didn't know that Jeff.
That's awesome! :rockon:
That's awesome! :rockon:
OH DAMM one of those is getting ready to open up right on my drive to work every day
it was quite a demolition operation, they even ripped all the asphalt out it's a large corner lot,
used to be strip club and hookah bar. It looks like it'll be open this week :banana:gonna check out
the pumps next time I drive by, thanks for the heads up OP!
And for local guys it's at the corner of Ulmerton and Starkey Road..

The one on Ulmerton and Starkey is open for business too, I got gas there last nite. 87 octane for the Saturn was $3.09. The E-85 was $2.99 is that the going rate around the US?
It's $2.65 here in Dallas today.
^ yeah I thought it was a bit less But Hey is your the only pony show in town $2.99 is still $.40 cents lower a gallon than 93. I'm considering converting gonna have to read some threads for knowledge...
I travel a lot and it seems some towns do that when they are the only one.
It's usually around $.90 cheaper than 93 here in DFW.
There are plenty of good threads in here.
Damm 90 cents cheaper would be Sweet, $9 dollar savings every 10 gallons..
Yeah, but when they know they got you they stick it to you!
But I would still kindly pay, even at $.40 cheaper for Awesome Race Fuel! :rockon:
