For the expense of adding a tank and pump or potential lost sales from sacrificing a pump and tank (longer the lines the more customers pass you by) they can’t expect a group of a couple hundred enthusiasts to recover the capex/lost sales many of which won’t even switch to that station as a source. If it is a car enthusiast they are no doubt intelligent enough to know they have to rely mostly on flex fuel customers to float the enthusiast side of things. There are over 1000 gas stations in the US that have e85. It’s a regular consumer fuel that also has good properties as a race fuel. But calling it race fuel is misleading to the layman and sounds kinda silly
