While it is only a temp thing (they say E85 is $.10/gallon cheaper than regular), maybe it will kick start a new trend here.

Before everyone starts running to get in line, check your vehicle manual, not all engines are built to accept a fuel mixture of 85% Ethanol. ;)
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

there was a government report about a year ago that said ethanol increased maintenance on engines over the long haul. The corn farmers promptly raised a stink and the report disappeared. Ethanol is bad...

edit to add this:
Good - http://www.ncga.com/ethanol/main/your_car.htm

Looking to see if I can find a 'reputable' link for the bad side...

OK...found this one. Short read on various 'alternative' fuels. http://www.drivers.com/article/633/

I won't call Ethanol bad, but it isn't for everyone. For example, many Ford engines are FFVs (Flexible Fuel Vehicles) and can easily handle the E85. As long as the engine can handle it, and you do normal fluid changes, things will fare okay.

for .85c a gallon I would turn a few more wrenches on my truck;)
actually I am looking at converting it to propane, propane is 1.50 at a dealer here, and if the tank is not hooked up to the vehical they don't tack on the 42.5c a gallon. I need every $$$ I got for school
