Here in Huntsville, we had a lady employee who drove a pickup truck with a grease trap, diesel tank. Certainly I have no problem with 'free fuel' but it raises the issue of whether E85 is 'free' too.
There is a term called 'money laundering' which means converting one type of funds into another. Some look at ethanol as converting farm diesel and petroleum fertilizer into 'free' ethanol ... a type of energy 'laundering.' It is one reason why I never cared for the hydrogen fool cell vehicles.
