..the big lie about E85 is this, it uses more petroleum to harvest, refine and transport than just using gasoline, so as a means to conserve it is a loser. However as a means to lessen our dependency on foriegn oil and as a means of cleaning our air, it helps somewhat.
The biggest thing that we could ALL do is convert to diesels. Using diesel fuel would overnight lessen our usage of petroleum by 33%, based upon the greater fuel economy that a diesel gets. Converting our diesels to Veg (P100) would clean our air, remove our issues with oil prices and stick it to the arabs...nearly overnight.
