For those needing solid blends, i keep Ignite fuel in stock.
E85 is just that, no other additives like MTBE, or oxygenation that some do have.

E90 is blended with leaded race fuel, not recommended unless you want to change out spark plugs and O2 sensors often. This is what i run, but change all this once a year, so not cheap on the maintenance end. It does allow me to throw all the timing in my car, which is why it makes the power it does on such low boost.

E98 is almost pure ethanol, not ideal to run, but use as a way to raise a bad blend at the pump, or for making your own ethanol percentage blend.

Test tube is fine, can grab it off Amazon. But I would look into fuel-it and see about putting a kit in your car. Gauge is mo better than the tube.

I had an Innovate electronic gauge in my TH, I wasnt sure if I could do that in my Impala. I might have to look in to that and stash it in the glove box

You can, i do a lot of the Innovative setups, work really well. Just plumb the sensor in the return side, power/ground and done. Much more accurate and quicker then with a tube, only down side is you have to pump some fuel in the car to see the reading, which if its low blend can suck.

Talked to a buddy of mine and I was told my flex fuel sensor will read the ethanol content on my Holley screen. We just have to set it up on the screen.

BP on route 64 just west of Kirk rd on the south side of the street is showing 73% on my Holley screen.
My tank was pretty much empty, less than 2 gallons in my tank when I filled up with 18 gallons. I stumbled upon this place on accident as I pulled in to get a few gallons of 93 to get me back to Streamwood lol. Pulled and and was surprised to see the E85 pump
