E85 Ethanol blog reworked
Filed Under E85
Quick programming note — I’ve started up an E85 Ethanol blog to keep a greater focus on the topic in one area. It promises to work out better than trying to manage E85 Ethanol and other alternative fuel posts within one page as I had previously tried.

It just occurred to me that E85 has kept pace with the price increases of gasoline. Why is that? You would think with oil going from $50 to $150 that the price savings of E85 would widened? Any thoughts?
Hi – I get the impression that the Corn Lobby and growers are pushing E85 in an attempt to become as powerful as the oil industry.
I drive a CNG car. I pay $0.85 a gallon. I drive 21 miles round trip day to my work and pay about $4 a week for fuel.
I am sorry but I think E85 is a joke. I am not going to be a Corn Lobby Customer.
Hi Aaron,
I’d like to get a CNG car — there’s a filling station not too far away and I’ve seen the at-home natural gas pumps that can be installed as well.
However, until more CNG cars become available — my local utility will convert cars, so that might be an option — E85, if the price is right — is one alternative to foreign oil.
Maybe one of these days, there will be a CNG – electric hybrid with embedded solar panels on the roof. Maybe it would only cost $2 week for fuel.
