Straight from the pro E85 website. E85 as much a $1.06 more than unleaded. Who here is willing to pay a buck a gallon more to support ADM? From: Saluki E85 Price: 2.96 Station Name: Gas City Station City: Warrenville, IL Unleaded Price: 2.26 Date: Sunday, August 20, 2006 --------------------- From: costs2muchhere E85 Price: 4.109 Station Name: West Street Citgo Station City: Annapolis Unleaded Price: 3.049 Date: Sunday, August 20, 2006 -------------------- From: Paul E85 Price: 2.799 Station Name: Marathon Mach 1 Station City: Urbana, IL Unleaded Price: 2.969 Date: Sunday, August 20, 2006 Disclaimer: Seems that some ethanol advocates are trying to twist what the American Lung Association says about ethanol. (The American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest is not responsible for misinformation reported on the E85 Price Forum. )

We have a 2100 PT cruiser and on highway driving we get 30 miles to the gallon. The PT is a great car. Gerald E Smith Providence Rhode Island |

Replying to: snakeweasel (Aug 21, 2006 5:27 am) Seemed kind of cheap to me also. I do see $2.73 in the Anna area. I guess you just cannot trust any of the information on the E85 websites. I agree on the personal attacks. I guess if you do not have any facts to back up your viewpoint you just attack those that do. |

with the price of gas, it's no wonder that European have chosen diesels but they suffer from significantly impacted air quality - Europe STINKS (literally, not figuratively), which is a real shame I wonder how they do vis a vis lost workdays and the like (air pollution-caused health effects) Americans would not accept the stench that comes from all those diesels. Almost every American who travels to Europe remarks on (a) the percentage of small cars and (b) how the air stinks of diesel How does ethanol smell?
