E85 Pump Gas On Oahu

The Issue

Aloha all,

Many automotive enthusiasts that have a passion for cars are meticulous when it comes to putting anything into their vehicle. So why settle for low quality fuel that is often a lower octane than advertised, can often be dirty, and is just plain expensive. Automotive enthusiasts in Hawaii have been craving higher quality fuel such as E85 or race gas, and have gone as far buying multiple 5 gallon pails (varying from E85 or race gas, from brands like VP Racing, Torco, Ignite, etc.) from local dealers or distributors and paying a fortune just to fill their tank up. 

The real problem, isn’t that the fuel is crazy expensive, or no distributor/dealer can get higher quality fuels, or nobody buys higher quality fuels. The main problem to the scarcity of higher quality fuel, is that transportation along with other fees like hazmat is expensive and often is overwhelming to pay more than $8/gallon for higher octane or higher quality fuel. The automotive enthusiast community would greatly appreciate if the new Shell in Kapolei located by Wet n Wild would consider the possibility of bringing in E85 and possibly race gas. 

With the upcoming construction of Circuit Hawaii as well as another track, which there hasn’t been one since 2006 when the drag strip closed down, within the coming years there will be an influx in the need for higher quality fuels as there are many that have high horsepower vehicles and can not safely run on Oahu’s poor quality fuel. Many can remember how important Oahu’s racetrack was to it’s people, and how it was a good way for family to bond as they watched these built machines soaring down the track. Automotive enthusiasts across the island would appreciate if you would be so kind to consider having E85 on pump.


Mahalo for your consideration.
