for what it’s worth, lefties don’t like ethanol any more than we do. everybody hates it but the companies that get to look good making it, and the corn growers.

My van runs on regular unleaded.

There’s a new E85 station down the road. They offer E85 at $2.85/gallon.

Normally, my van gets 17/23 to the gallon.
If I had the E85 capable engine, (or do I actually need the FuelFlex engine to handle E85?) then my milage goes down to 12/16.

So, at $3.16/gallon which I filled up at yesterday morning, I would be able to fill up more cost-effectively with regular unleaded than this new E85 scam.

What’s the benefit? Less emissions? My van already has an emissions filter and is tested anually for excess emissions. (And as I found in Florida, if you pour a single bottle of isproypal alcohol into your fuel tank, you reduce your emissions for the duration of the test to be able to pass.)
