I paid $3.29 at the North Aurora, IL Woodmans yesterday. They seem to hold prices steady for the stuff for weeks if not months at a time.

Suburban prices, two counties directly west of downtown Chicago this afternoon...

Thorntons, North Aurora
E85 $3.299
E10 $4.179/4.279/4.379

Speedway, North Aurora
E85 $3.179
E10 $4.179/4.279/4.379

Speedway sports a $1.00 discount from E10 regular to E85 here currently, whereas Thorntons is $3.299 at all of their stations, it seems. Thus the Speedway E85 price floats while the Thorntons price seems fixed (on a short term basis).

Busted my cherry on a 2001 Ford Taurus SES with E-85. Now I get a check engine light for "lean burn." Anyone else get this error code when starting E-85 for the first time? Saw it at Robert St. W St. Paul for $2.69. There are 11 test stations in the Metro area here in the Twin Cities that are the ones that vary prices to test the market. Is supposed to last 2 months, but who knows.

Near as I can figure, the Minneapolis market has E85 at over 30% price discount. So, WEOH will be correct to continue to burn E85. Enjoy your day in Ohio.

FYI- Your car has to have an engine that is made to run on E-85 and you will probably get 20% less gas mileage

At $1.20 less I would be an E85 user around Minneapolis. I don't get that kind of spread.

Why are some Holiday stations in the Twin Cities pricing E85 about $1.20 lower than 87 octane yet others have it jacked way up as usual?
