Although it will be a long time before we ever see E-85 in this "Oil " part of Western Texas, Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of the price per gallon on average in places where it is available?
Does it fluctuate like gas prices? Only reason I ask is that I didn't realize this new truck I bought is Ethanol capable to when I bought it and the salesman never once mentioned it. It wasn't until I went to fill it up did I discover that it was.

LOTS of soybeans. They grow exclusively for fuel, it pays them pretty well, but they are also involved in the E85 'movement'. They also do tractor repair. These are very busy people in the spring and fall. My friends get bored in the winter, so they take up e85 politics to pass the dreary slow months, I swear. > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Jack Wood <spele...@yahoo.com> > To: texascavers@texascavers.com > Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 8:47:21 PM > Subject: [Texascavers] Re: $ 2.89 lowest price found - way OT!!!! warning!!! > > > --- David Locklear <dlocklea...@gmail.com> wrote: > > <snip> > > But there is no E-85.
