Don't think that I am one of the gas price whiners. As a matter of fact, that really gets on my nerves. End of rant.

How many of you have one of the newer E85 / Flex fuel vehicles? I have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with the biggest V8 and it is E85 equipped. For those that don't know, E85 is 85% Ethanol and 15% gasoline.

To be honest, I am told that the E85 produces slightly higher horsepower and gets slightly better mpg.

My question: Why is E85 roughly the same price per gallon as gasoline? I mean, hey, it is only 15% gasoline. I don't think that OPEC has the Nebraska corn market cornered, do they?
