Re: [AMC-List] E85 and Old Cars

There appears to be no consumer reason for switching to E85. In the vast majority of instances E85 prices closely parallel gasoline prices, maybe a few pennies less. I checked pricing on this site (which has other info and links) - http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/e85toolkit/e85_fuel.html. The only reason to switch to E85 is environmental. In the long run using more ethanol should help US industries other than oil -- especially farming.
