Work out exactly how many gallons of E85 and pump gas to put in to hit your target ethanol blend — for a full fill, a top-up on what's already in the tank, or to check a mix you've already pumped.

Your two fuels
Ethanol content varies — especially pump E85. Use what's on the pump or your test-kit reading.
Pump “E85” is legally 51–83% ethanol in the US and drops in winter. If you haven't tested yours, 70–75% is a safer guess than 85%.
Most US premium (91/93) is E10. Use 0% only if you're buying ethanol-free gas.

What are you doing?
Pick the situation — the answer updates as you type.
Assumes the tank is effectively empty (or what's left is negligible). For a part-full tank, use “Top up” instead.
Gauge readings are rough — a quarter tank on the dash is an estimate, not a measurement.
The calculator fills the rest of the tank to full and works out the split for the space that's left.

Order at the pump
Put the E85 in first, then fill the rest with pump gas — the gasoline going in last helps the two mix as you drive off.
Round to what the pump can do. Amounts are shown to two decimals, but pumping to the nearest tenth of a gallon is plenty — a few tenths either way moves the blend by about a point.
Drive gently for the first few miles while the mix evens out and, on a flex-fuel sensor or tune, the car settles on the new content.
Stay in your tuner's window. An “E30” tune usually means a range around 30%, not exactly 30.00% — confirm the acceptable range with your tuner and don't chase decimal places.
Get the app — both ways
Native store apps for Windows and Android, so you can download, rate, and review it where you normally get apps. On iPhone and iPad, use the web app for now — same calculator, no download needed — until the iOS version is published officially.
Windows
Native app · Microsoft Store
For your PC
A standalone Windows app that launches in its own window — no browser tabs to hunt for. The Microsoft Store listing is the point: anyone who uses it can leave a rating and a review there.
Until the store build lands, this web version also installs from Edge or Chrome: ⋯ / ⋰ menu → Apps → Install this site as an app (wording varies by browser).
Android
Native app · Google Play
For your phone at the pump
A native Android app for Google Play, built from this same calculator — same targets, same fill / top-up / check modes, same math. Play Store ratings and reviews are built into that route.
In the meantime, open this page in Chrome and use ⋮ menu → Install app / Add to Home screen to pin it like an app.

Good to know
Pump E85 is the big variable. Its actual ethanol content swings with season and station (51–83% by US spec), which is why this calculator lets you change it. A cheap ethanol test kit — or a flex-fuel sensor / ethanol gauge if your tune supports one — takes the guesswork out.
The math is a straight volume blend: total ethanol in ÷ total fuel in. It assumes the two fuels mix evenly and ignores the tiny volume change when ethanol and gasoline combine — close enough for any pump fill.
Don't run a blend your tune isn't written for. Higher ethanol needs more fuel volume; on a stock or 93-octane tune, a strong blend can run the car lean. Only run E30 on an E30 (or flex-fuel) tune.

Save the stations you visit. For each fuel a station offers, record its ethanol content as Tested — a true, measured value — or Rated — what the pump / station says, assumed. Apply any fuel straight to the calculator, or tap Navigate on a saved station to get directions in your maps app.
Find E85 near me
Looking for a station that sells E85? Open the in-app finder — it searches the US Department of Energy's E85 station database and shows results on a map, with distances. Save any result and it lands in your stations below.
No stations saved yetAdd your first station below — name, location, and the fuels it sells.
Tested vs. Rated: “Tested” means you measured it yourself (test kit or sensor) — treat it as the true content. “Rated” is the station's posted value or the usual assumption for that fuel (for example E85 rated 85%, premium rated 10%) until you've tested it.
Find E85 near me
Stations that sell E85, from the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) — the purpose-built database for alternative-fuel stations, instead of a general map search. Results are public stations only, nearest first.
Where should we look?
or search a place
Your location is used only to run the search — it is never saved or stored. Station data: US DOE / National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) AFDC. Listings can lag the real world when a station adds or drops E85, so if a trip depends on it, it's worth a quick call ahead.

Changelog
Every change and update to this app, newest first.
v1.0.0-beta.7
Current release
Added — in-app E85 finder:Find E85 near me is now its own page in the app, with a map — it no longer just opens a Google search. Use your location, or search a ZIP code or city, pick a radius, and see public E85 stations from the US Department of Energy's AFDC station database as pins on the map and a nearest-first list with distances.
Added — act on a result: every station the finder shows has Navigate (directions in your maps app) and Save to my stations, which saves its name and street address to your Gas stations list.

Added — years on the presets: each built-in preset now shows the model years it covers — 2017–2019 Golf Alltrack (14.5 gal), 2015–2021 Golf / GTI (13.2 gal), and 2013–2018 Focus ST (12.4 gal).
Added — Menu: a separate Menu page (bottom bar) that takes you to your vehicles, your gas stations, the guide, Get the app, and this changelog.
Added — your vehicles, saved: vehicles you add are saved on this device and stay selectable between visits. My vehicles in the Menu lists the built-in presets and everything you've added — tap one to use its tank size in the calculator.
Added — delete any vehicle: you can now delete the built-in preset vehicles as well as any vehicle you've added — with the × on its preset in the calculator, or from My vehicles. Deleted presets stay deleted on this device, and you can restore the built-in presets from My vehicles.
Added — gas stations: save the stations you visit by name and location, and record each fuel that station offers. For every fuel you can enter its ethanol content as Tested (a true, measured value) or Rated (the station's posted / assumed value) — then apply that fuel straight to the calculator's E85 or pump-gas setting.
Unchanged: calculator modes, defaults, and results — including the default fill of 3.87 gal E85 + 10.63 gal pump gas = 30.0%.
v1.0.0-beta.2
Pre-release history
Changed — refreshed layout: a single phone-width column, a compact header with the version at the top, sentence-case headings, a stacked card flow (target, fuels, tank, mode, result), and a bottom navigation bar (Calculator · Guide · Get the app · Changelog). On wide screens the app sits centred in its column instead of stretching across the page.
Unchanged: every control, mode, default, and result — including the default fill of 3.87 gal E85 + 10.63 gal pump gas = 30.0%.
v1.0.0-beta.1
Pre-release history

Includes everything below from the initial build and the distribution update, in one package.
Distribution update
Pre-release history
Added — “Get the app — both ways” section: explains the two routes — native store apps for Windows (Microsoft Store) and Android (Google Play), where ratings and reviews live, and the web app for iPhone & iPad until an official iOS release.
Added — installable web app: Apple / mobile web-app support and Home Screen title (“E30 Calculator”), so iPhone users can add it from Safari via Share → Add to Home Screen and launch it full-screen.
Unchanged: calculator modes, defaults, and results — including the default fill below.
Initial build
Pre-release history
Added — the calculator: target blend slider (E10–E85) with E20 / E30 / E40 / E50 / E60 presets; adjustable E85 ethanol content (51–90%) and pump-gas content (0–15%); tank capacity with presets (Golf Alltrack 14.5 gal, Golf / GTI 13.2 gal, Focus ST 12.4 gal) or any typed size; gallons or litres.
Added — three modes:Fill the tank (exact E85 / pump-gas split for a fill), Top up what’s in there (accounts for fuel already in the tank and its current blend, with gauge shortcuts), and Check a mix (reports the blend you actually landed at, plus the swap that would correct it to target).
Added — results & guidance: “At the pump” result with amounts in both units, a blend bar, and a final-blend verdict; warnings when a target is unreachable by topping up or higher than the E85 itself; “Order at the pump” steps; and safety notes on variable pump-E85 content and only running a blend your tune is written for.
Default fill: 14.5 gal tank, E30 target, 85% E85 + E10 pump gas = 3.87 gal E85 + 10.63 gal pump gas, landing at 30.0%.
Added — light & dark appearance that follows the device setting, and a layout that stacks cleanly on phone widths.
