Interesting E50 is 96-97 octane, some E85 proponents would like E50 to be the standard due to the lower reduction in mileage than E85. I'd prefer every pump be a blender so I could choose the blend I like based on my cents/mile. E50 would be under $2 a gallon today.

Bingo.
I've been banging on the manufacturers doors to test blends for MPG/HP/Cost. I'll get to do it, eventually. GM's truck engines are designed to make considerably more HP when running E85 over regular. The forced induction engines are wild cards.
I'm not that keen on E15, but blender pumps should be everywhere. People should have the power of choice.
