E-85 is nice when it can be found, around here there isn't to many filling stations that carry it. You can expect about a 20% decrease in mileage when using E-85. The problem I see is it is only around 15% cheaper than regular unleaded leading to more cost of fueling.

I think it's a bad idea--at least corn supplied. It's causing food prices to go up, and is not particularly energy-effective. This will become an unpleasant thread, though.

If George W. supports it, it's probably be bad idea.

Maybe we should keep personal political opinions away from this forum.

Given this year, I'd agree with that.

I'm just thinking about the last time this happened, it got pretty ugly.
