E85 users - how do you measure ethanol content and what is the usual content...
from the Kroger stations that have E85 here in the metroplex - particularly the one in Carrollton and Plano?

I have noticed in my escape that it has a sensor and measures content displayed through the OBD port. I wonder if this sensor can be retrofitted to the mustang? I also wonder if there is a sensor on the F150 5.0L that can be adapted?
I filled up e85 in my escape yesterday and its showing 86% through OBD and the tank was at 0 miles left when I filled it from kroger at midway/franford

86% seems high - even for a summer blend. I wonder if it's just a one time freak tank of fuel or if you get that consistently?

I dont know and I wondered too. I am going to follow it up with another tank to see. Have you been able to test any locally?

no, I need to look into getting a tester. I found another site/forum/thread where people tested tanks at the locations I'm buying from. Shaun could tell from my data logs that the ethanol content was low.

This.
I have yet to fill up under 84% anywhere, regardless of season. Fuck, I just got two tanks of 90% in November/December, so winter blend not found.

What about that gauge from the Sema show that goes into your fuel line, any word on that?
