Would YOU go outta your way?

>To buy your gas here?

I make a trip to El Cajon once every few months to buy 40 gallons of E85. But I doubt most people would do that.



What do you use the E85 for? The hybrids don't run on it right?

As for the gas station, I don't know if I'd go out of my way. Of course, it's all about location.

It's a good marketing ploy.
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!

I note that this is in Omaha. I think there's a psychological reason for this. To a dyslexic, "Omaha" might look like "Ohama". "Ohama" looks and sounds a lot like "Osama", a name associated with terrorism. So Omahans are doing this to compensate for subconscious feelings of insecurity caused by having a city name that reminds them of terrorism.

Pretty sharp, eh?

By the way, I know it also looks like "Obama", but what can I say? -- some things just defy logical explanation.

Mine does. It's not 'supposed' to, but a university in Texas ran a Prius on E85 for 20,000 miles with no problems. It _is_ rated to use E10. I'm mixing it to get E50, which I figure is a good compromise. Car runs fine. Mileage goes down a bit but power goes up.

You drive all the way out to El Cajon for that? No E85 retailers closer in "metro" San Diego County?
