    A little web searching will show you where it's available. As far as I know, San Antonio is about the only place in TX you can get it. They have a brand new facility there.

    E85 would also keep people that depend on farming with a job. Farming is 95% of the work around here.. I feel bad for them lately with fuel going outrageous and the crops not bringing anything. I liked being a farm hand, but I'd never own one.

    Anyone know if the E85 is available in all states yet?
    I worked on a few ranches and farms off and on in high school. We have killed the U.S. Do you think back in the day anyone one would have bought a car or product over seas. Heck no. I am not knocking over seas products. I just think we have not handled somethings like we could have. Now it is killing a lot of people. I have a friend up north that has worked mainly in factories, they keep shutting them down to move out of the country. It makes it tough on communities that are dependant on those businesses.

    Yup, it actually take more E85 fuel to produce the same amount of energy that reg gasoline produces. So you get less milage but its suppose to be cheaper at the pumps and friendlier to the environment.

    I am all for it. The only problem we have right now is the power that oil companies have right now on pushing standard fuel. It will cost them to shift production but it would be worth it in the end. Plus it would benefit our economy.

    The good thing is that it&#39;s made out of waste products. Then again, oil is a waste product too. I just don&#39;t think we have a million or so years to wait for more oil to be made.
