I've been offered to get an E85 kit for half the price, but the hassle with its installation and setting up held me back - according to my calculations I wouldn't gain anything financially by installing it, and I'm not that sure that ethanol is the Holy Grail. With today's manufaturing processes it surely isn't (EROEI<2, pushes industrial agriculture to exhaust soil even more, and so on).
I was really tempted, though, because of my curiosity.
