Ya i remember when it got to Lincoln last summer 1.80 a gallon, then the gas companies started buying all the E85 and by the end of the summer it was the same as regular. I dont know much of anything about what it takes to make an engine compatable with E85 i just know that all new vehicles should be equipped. Another random fact that i just remembered about our current ethanol production, for the USA to make all of the gas that we burn annually in vehicles it would take 97% of the nations cropland to grow the corn needed.
