However, the oil companies have effectively stopped the adoption of the fuel because, well, there's lots of oil left at this point and they control the entire distribution of liquid fuel. Look for ethanol to make a massive comeback when the oil runs out. That could be hundreds of years away but it IS coming. And it would be nice if we started laying the groundwork now. The midwest has hundreds of E85 stations and people use them all the time to fill up their flex-fuel silverados.

There is zero advantage to E85 in my 2011 Silverado. The cost is a wash.
