oops that's methonal not to run above 5% , guess ethonal is up to 10%

Cute article, although its actually the new Ethonal standerd that has been rising the cost of refined gasoline at the pumps. We don't have enough of it on tap to readily mix in, I belive congress just has or is about to temporarly supsend those mandates and allow non blended gas to be made, to reduce our costs.

E85 is a cool idea, but with subsidized farmers, its not likely to reduce our costs, and if its only for autos, not Semis and jets, its not going to dent our oil consumption that much. If we nationally made a huge switch to that, the price of corn would likely go up.

Very cool that someone is figuring all that stuff out though.
