my theory was that the vast price increases are about global warming and wanting everyone to buy a hybrid. :-/

E-85 is $3.55 at the only station close to me ... not worth it at all right now. Same station has 93 for $4.12 I think.

Food for thought!

I tried to get Methanol (large quantities-1-3 barrels) here in Puerto Rico thru a major supplier of chemicals. When I was asked what was the intended use of the Methanol, I told the guy that it was for off road car racing. The salesman told me that there was a federal order/mandate to not sell large quantities of methanol for the development of Biodiesel.

that sucks, but regardless, if my car is not designed for E85, I wouldn't like to make it. Changing the fuel lines, tank, injectors, pump, tuning, seems to be an easy problem maker in the future

As far as I know AMS stated that the only thing that really need to be upgraded was the injectors due to the 30% fuel increase. And a whalbro or modified one.
