Community Driven: Pinpoint E85 stations Verify locations for our community Test the Ethanol Content Plan your routes Build a Caravan (Drive a route with Friends) What is E85 Navigator? E85 Navigator is an app for the community to find E85 Gas Stations all over the world. The community finds locations, adds them, verifies them, and tests them. We developed this to plan routes, traveling with your race-car, or e85 fueled vehicle to do daily drives, commutes, canyon carving, caravans, or rallys. This started because we've constantly been looking for E85 stations where we live. Always communicating trying to develop lists etc. of where to go... Limiting travel and cruises because of limited knowledge of E85 gas stations. Now... We have this App... The goal is to grow, and help all E85 users find stations and not be limited anymore by knowledge, and to not be held back by not knowing where these stations are. So let us get verifying! 10 Verifications turns it green. 1-9 makes it Orange. 0 Makes it unverified!
