BTW, the flex fuel e85 is due to gas going to going to 5% more ethanol. Most stations are 10% now but they will go to 15%.

Also, this buisness pays my bills to....both with refining oil and bio-fuels....


Its my understanding that E85 is 85% ethanol (alcohol) with 15% gasoline added, not 85% gasoline w/15% ethanol added...

Just sayin' ...

It has been almost 30 hours...... and nobody has commented on this post????

E85 is a fuel that has 15 % ethanol added to the mixture.

Ethanol production cost is suppliment by the Goverment. I don't remember the exact numbers....but ethanol is expensive to make. Ethanol cost something like $ 10+ per gallon to make or 3 time more than what gasoline cost to make from oil.

Google it, E85 is 85% ethanol with 15% gasoline

This stuff is a whole different animal from unleaded blended with 10-15% ethanol...
