Yea? So? :) Any commodity will be priced for max sales at max pofits. You aren't going to find a fuel that gives you 30 mpg & sells for 25 cents a gallon. E85 will be priced to maximise profits - we are in a capitolist society. There are 15-17 ethanol coops in my state, more doing ground breaking. Other than the Marshall fiasco, all are doing well and are farmer-owned. Not corporate. E10 is already mandated in Minnesota. Dispite being as far from the ports as you can get, out fuel is a few cents cheaper than national average, Can find an E85 pump in most every town around me for miles & miles.... So, there are some negatives, some positives. Sounds like anything else. We won't save the whole world with E85. Probably won't save it with any other single product. But for those who wish to try it, more power to them. Fuels change over the years - can you pull up to a station & get distilate very easily? So, what was your point??? :) --->Paul
