I heard a little anecdote about gas and alcohol on the radio today. The story was that Rockefeller was promoting prohibition as a way to squelch his competition in the auto fuel market. Interesting.

I saw E85 for sale for the first time last Friday, in upstate New York. Haven't seen it anywhere near me. It was cheaper than gas. Also saw a flex fuel Taurus today, they seem to pop up fairly often.
