Star city told me that if a product comes in as part of their regular shipment then you won't be charged for shipping so I'm hoping that still applies here.
I just called Star City and they are going to contact me when they go to order their next VP Fuel batch. However after reading on the forums the per gallon price of C85 is ridiculous like $9 per gallon from what I was reading, like $700 plus for a 55gal drum! F that.

EDIT: $81.05 for 5 gal, $766.80 for 55 gal .... lol

Wytheville Sheetz said it's rated at e85 but the % can vary (sounded like she really had no clue what blend it is). At $3.39 per gallon this looks like the best way to go aside from having to travel to get it. The sunoco 112 was $8.50 per gallon last time I was there.
