If it was , you'd think their web site wouldn't be as difficult to get information from and they might actually have some links to actual dealers. I like what I read , but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to lay my hands on some. www.oneethanol.com/products

Looks like glorified E85 to me. If I understand correctly , and if the vendors can be believed , they use a higher quality base gasoline to start with. I drive a tanker and when we load , it is ( depending on the season ) 15 % sub grade unleaded , which is around 84 octane , and blend it with straight ethanol. It sounds like Sunoco and these guys start with a better base grade , which would yield a better fuel. Straight premium from the refineries that we use is 91 octane and some stations will jack it to 93 octane with 10 % ethanol. I am not overly concerned with lead , so I considered buying straight ethanol and mixing it with race gas. But I am toying with the idea of buying a drum of their S and trying it out. I did find someone local who carries it , and 335.00 a drum is better than a lot of the others. Their R grade is 425.00 a drum , but not in stock locally. Switching to straight booze creates another set of circumstances that I am not ready to spend on.

To the E85 guyz .... not racing myself now but most guys in this area have stopped using that because the formula can radically change from load to load. Most of them have switched to straight alky You definitely want a test kit and basic math skills. I keep a 5 gallon can of E-95 laying around in case I need to sweeten what comes out of the pump.........by mid July , most of it is 85 % But here in Mn. , they don't fill the tanks with actual E-85 until June 1. It is E- 65 for cold weather starts from November till then.

Switching to straight booze creates another set of circumstances that I am not ready to spend on. Don't make the switch harder than it is when going to straight alcohol. A quick phone call to APD in ohio for a change-over ( I did this) or buy a new fancy billet carb. I do a lot of weekly races and changed my oil twice thanks to a 1/2 ball-valve in my car to build heat. 160.00 a drum picked up 7 miles from my house.

$7.99 per gallon for Renegade 112. That's out of the pump at the distribution center that's about a 40 min drive from my house. Same fuel is $63 for 5 gallons at the local Advance Auto Parts, but you get to keep the steel can it comes in. Convenient when I need some quick.
