Has anyone else gone to the web pages that give you statistics on fuel mileage on E-85? It drops by about 20 - 25%. Here in Missouri, it is not cheaper, even the 10% blends. You would be buying more fuel to drive the same miles, thus "taxing" yourself to use ethanol. A recent article from the AP stated that ethanol plants in Missouri have raised the price of corn 20 cents a bushel. Farmer's got another market competing for his crop.

Didn't I also read that burning ethanol doesn't create the carbon monoxide that fossil fuels do? (Except for the 15%, of course.)
