E30 Chicagoland

Is anyone in the Chicagoland area running e30? It seems the closest blender pump is an ~hour outside of the city. I'm assuming most are blending e85 and 93 octane gas. Where is the best e85 around?

Thornton's for some E85 / 92. I also have a racing fuel hookup if you need it. Costco for 93. Where in Chicago you at?

I'm in Des Plaines, from what I've found there's a blender pump in Harvard. Not sure if it make sense to drive 100 miles round trip for e30.

Nice - I'm a few minutes away. Blender pump is at Sullivan's I believe, def a hike and a little overkill IMO. I'm going to test the Exx content at Thornton's in the next couple of days.
