It's a shame that E85 is so much higher in your area. In my neck of the woods it's generally 25to 35 cents a gallon cheaper.

I don't mean disrespect, but can you prove or know where to prove ethanol causes problems for the engine? It's not lack of trust, but I just like to be able to cite references, and if ethanol is as bad as all that, i can still avoid putting it in my cars for the time being.
