E85 in annapolis md is 3.99 a gallon and has been since i started using it in june

 

Just paid $3.04/gal today here is Tucson.


ATTN: iPhone users. There is a nice app for E85 station locating called "Flex-Fuel". Unfortunately, the excellent "GasBuddy" app is terrific for finding the lowest priced petrol, but it does not track E85.

 

only 3.06 here but i remember when it was 1.70

 

i pay $3.35-3.45 no price increase in the past months

 

When I filled up this afternoon, I spoke to the gas station attendant, and he said the station makes no money on their E85 sales. He said they are keeping it around though because its cheaper than regular, and it attracts people into the station who don't realize its the E85 price. He also said that if the subsidy goes away, their price for E85 will go up accordingly. Makes me wonder if they will continue to sell it if the sale price surpasses regular gasoline. The US Govt really needs to get their head screwed on straight about whether E85 is a real strategy for oil independence.

 

paid 2.72 for e85 this morning.

 

^wow must be nice. i payed 3.49 2 days ago, and regular unleaded is down to 3.45 now

 

Matter of perspective.

Here are norcal E85 prices on different dates in the past:

Aug 18th 2008



Aug 28th 2008



Mar 29th 2009



Prices go up and down, they have been since we had E85 here.

 

damn lets hope we see it down near the 2$ mark again!

 

That $2 mark in ny would be great but lord knows thats not gonna happen smh

 

$2.99 at one of the stations close by. Corn is such a inefficient product for making ethanol.

Lots of better stuff out there that most people don't really realize would make more for cheaper.

 

Cheaper yes, but our infrastructure isn't able to handle using anything in mass quantities but predominately corn which made it the easy/simple/quick choice. Oh, BTW, most of you don't know this but domestic ethanol producers grind more than just corn. One of our ethanol plants doesn't use any corn at all.

 

Exactly, saying the E85 you pump into your evo is just made from Corn is ignorance.

I don't mean that in a bad way, just that most people (even users) do not take the time to educate themselves about the product, and just say what they have been told.

 

$2.85 here in Dayton. I still find myself getting irritated because last summer it was $2.17 before my Mejier card.

 

Any articles that describe what other products are used and in what percentages?
