Same for the car, if and when repairs need to be made related to E85 compatibility, I'll consider it.

The fuel itself is limited, but that has nothing to do with current pricing and shortages of food worldwide. It is an alternative to oil, but not a great one.
Removing anything that is the building block for the food chain (corn) is asking for trouble down the line.
They made the conversion in S America some decades ago, but their's is sugar cane based. It was their way of telling OPEC to eat the desert oil--hence no dependency on imported, often turbulent sources.
