Ethanol/Gasoline mixing pumps

I'm always on the lookout for what may be, or should, coming down the line related to ethanol.

How about mixing pumps? The station only needs to have a tank of gasoline and a tank of ethanol, and the driver selects the mix - i.e. E10, E85, E95, whatever - and voilą, you have the gasoline/ethanol ratio of your choosing.

Search this page for "Sweden". Looks like they have had mixing pumps since 1997.

Ah ha! Looks like Min-ah-soda also has a mixing pump. Clic here!

So, my question is, has anyone run across one of these mixing pumps? Are they installed in any other parts of the US?

I like to throw in a little science just for fun! It's a year old, but one I had not run across prior.

I think i read somewhere having these types of pumps would confuse da heck out of most American consumers. So, probably won't see them anytime soon in USA.
