Here in St. Louis we have E10 in all of our fuel. Our prices depend on ethanol prices because of it, so sometimes it's less and sometimes more. For awhile now we've been about 20-50 cents more per gallon than the west part of MO where they don't use E10. Some people complain but I'm glad to use a bit of renewable fuel, extending oil availability longer, and I think we need high prices to drive people to change.
If we switched to E10 or E15 as a nationwide standard, prices would go up substantially, and people would complain, but we wouldn't have short-sighted idiots going out and buying more gas guzzlers again because "gas is back to normal"...
