  1. To the person who thinks ethanol = food....when was the last time you fed your family pure corn starch?  Try living off of that.  Plus, after they extract the starch they sell the spent grain to cattle farmers to use as food, so it's "green"...way more green than oil.  Bottom line, it's not taking food out of anyone's mouth, the increase in food prices have to do w/Diesel prices, everything in our economy is based on oil....not corn.


  2. Try the websites below to find E85 stations in your area.

    I prefer the first site as it also give the gasoline price and has a calculator to help figure out if you are spending more or less money to use E85.

    To break even you should be paying at least 15% less for E85 than gasoline.  There are some places in my state that sell E85 for mor than 25% less than gasoline.  At these locations, you really come out ahead.

  3. Cars that run on E85 also run on regular gas.  

    If they have converted their cars to run on 100% ethanol they most likely got a permit from the ATF to distill their own fuel.

  4. They burn 25% of our food so they can feel better inside.

  5. In Colorado, where I live, there are E85 gas stations.  I also saw a lot of them when I was driving through Iowa and Nebraska.  It's more common in areas where there is a lot of corn production.

    They also mix ethanol with the regular gasoline around here so that gas prices are lower than the national average for us.

    I'm not sure if E85 stations exist at all in certain parts of the country where there is little or no corn production.
