E85 below $1.00 soon?

Just filled up with e-85 and got it for $1.39 gal.. consider that it was it was 3.59 at is high. big swing. even though my computer in my van is set to run on e10 i can run e85 cheeper per mile than gas. i get 18.1 per mile/gal on e10 and i get 15.7-16.1 on e85(i also put 3 gals of e10 in the tank to keep my check engine light from actavating due to o2 cencer being triped) gas is 1.89 and e85 is 1.29 tax incld. in my aera off road gas is 1.72 and off road e85 for 1.09 as you guys know you still pay the fed tax of 19.2 cents per gal and can claim it when you do you taxes. they do not dye off road gas or alcohol. I am thinking of filling my 300 gallon tank with e85 as i alredy have my wifes "a" Running on E85 and it runs great. dosent stink up the shed when i first start it. Even though oil has come down in price we need to push foward with renewable fuels, and until I can get cellousic alcohol in my aera i have to use the corn alcohol. I would like to see if the forigen oil companys could turn there oil into food.like we turn corn into fuel, they crippled the world economy and we need to lern from it. we got to quit sending billions and billions of dollars to people who you would tell your kids to stay away from. i would like to see our trucks and cars run on american nat gas or alcohol. we need to take a lession from brazil. Sorry for the long post but the time to act is now, if your car was made after 94 you could run a 50/50 blend of e85 and help creat new jobs in america and also help the enviroment. jonnny2006

I would like to see passenger cars go totally electric, until they go soley that direction they will continue to be inefficient. For example I have an 84 Merc Lynx diesel in the woods that got 48 miles on diesel in 1984. I also heard on a radio program that 80% of electrical usage is used in daytime hours while capacity has to remain the same. Plugging cars in at night would get better usage of power current power capacity. Also I cringe when I hear the push for natural gas. It is used in making commercial fertilizer which we used to be an exporter of and we are now a huge importer of. Perhaps they will get nitrogen fixing corn before us farmers are the next needing bailed out. Many farmers in this area are skipping fertilizing soybean ground. Last year we worked for the fertilizer and seed companies.

Don't get too comfortable with the E85 fuel. My brother had a 2006 Ford F150 flex fuel vehicle, was in shop 4 times with fuel issues. finally the tech ask him if he was using E85, said, yea, a couple times, tech told him that could be the root of his problem. Even flex fuel vehicles are not 100% good with E85.

Noticed E85 was higher than gasoline here in Central Indiana. Gas at an average of $1.85, E85 was $1.95. I wonder if it has to do with the plants locking in corn prices when they were high?

Considering how much corn prices have fallen, I think it disproves what so many were saying about ethanol causing the high corn prices. Wheat and beans were high too, and we sure aren't putting those in the tank. Fuel for equipment and high fertilizer prices might be the causes.
