Even with my truck that was E85 capable, it sucked in power and the mileage dropped. So unless it gets way lower than a few cents different, why would I want E85? So I can spend more time filling up?
If there is no outlet for the fuel, then no one will purchase E85 or Diesel vehicles....therefore no vehicles will run the fuel......thus no dealers should be required to stock it.....because it doesn't sell.....why doesn't it sell.....because no one purchased the E85 or Diesel vehicles because they can't buy the fuel......

That kinda sounds like our Legislative bodies......

I think this is why our society is on the skids......
