Get a charge out of a road trip

Some years ago when the Cenex station in Richardton installed an E-85 pump, it gave me an idea. I decided to take a trip from northwest of Minot to Rapid City and back using only E-85 alcohol fuel.
The theory was to fill in Minot, then in Richardton. That would take me to Sturgis, where I could fill there, go to Rapid City and take care of my business.
On the return trip, it would get topped off in Sturgis, then a fill in Richardton and again in Minot before taking the short trip home.
