E-85 is available in most everytown in the upper midwest, but not at every station The biggest problem with marketing it is the lack of pump availability. Most stations already carry different grades of gas, some diesel, some ethanol and some biodiesel, and they don't have room to stock E-85 until there is more demand for it.
I respect Brazil for their independence of foreign oil. They managed to do it with sugar cane produced ethanol.
Fabs, if you want to invest in the ethanol industry let me know. They're popping up all over around here and the individual plants are set up as LLP's and they're always looking for investors. However, not all of them are well managed or successful and they can fall on hard times financially, then ADM eats them up like a dog eating meat that fell on the floor.
When this industry matures, ADM will be the 800 lb. gorilla. Buy stock in ADM and hang on, they're up about 100% in the last 3 years the way it is. Biodiesel is not as far along and even farmers disagree on this topic, they like to sell it, but they don't like to use it in their equipment yet...But, I think it does have a future.
