I used the spreadsheet fomocosho gave me, got an ethanol tester to check my e85. I made up 2 cheat sheets. One for 70% one for 75%. I normally fill up when my light comes on, 5.25 gallons e85 9.75 gallons e85 to equal 16 gallons. But I have the mixtures all figured out all the way to just adding 5 gallons of total fuel. I just keep these sheets in my car laminated.

Yeah I am tinkering with those sheets too.    So by 70 and 75% do you mean E25 and E30, or are you saying that the E85 you are seeing is only 70 and 75%?

Sorry to bug you on this, just digging into it again as I consider running E30 this summer. Your comment about 70% and 75% are what are throwing me off is all.

5.25gal E85 and 9.75gal E10 would net you 16gal of E36, not E30?
Is that what you do when you convert from E10 to E30 given there are 4 Gal of E10 still in the tank so you end up with a total of 19gal of E30?

The e85 isn't 85% it's 70% in winter and 75% in summer.
