Wow. Hard to believe you got E85 that long ago. Here in SE MN I didn't see E85 pop up until around 2010. Thank god you were able to dilute the E85 and your truck ran fine afterwards. That would've scared the s*** out of me. Most people have told me that E85 won't work and your experience reinforces that. E15 should work though and my truck ran fine on 1/2 tank of E15 with no decrease in gas mileage.
Glad that you have non ethanol gas in your area. In my area we have 87,88,89,91,and 93 octane depending on the gas station. None of which are ethanol free IIRC. I know ethanol free gas is popular for boats, mowers, and special performance engines so yeah I would use it in my mower too if I could get it.
A gas station down my street has ethanol free 93. It's expensive, about $5.30 a gallon but only buying a couple gallons at a time for a small engine wouldn't be so bad.
It has a longer shelf life right? I could leave it in a can or seldom-used equipment longer, but how much longer?
