We can debate whether farmers are profiting however, bottom line is, ethanol is still a crap alternative for fuel and has cost me and a lot of other folks $ in repairs and/or replacements. The disadvanges of ethanol use far outweigh whatever benefits (and if you can name one, we can debate that as well), there may be.

Try visiting your local boat marina's. They may sell non-ethanol fuel. That is where I buy mine. A lot of boat yards use non-ethanol fuel to winterize outboard motors. Letting a boat engine set over the winter with ethanol fuel in it is asking for trouble.
Another thought is hit the local race track. Most tracks sell race fuel by pump and by the can.

If you live in a very hot area you will notice a increase in torque on those 115 degree days with E85, while gasoline will begin to fall on its face, problem is corn doesn't grow well there mostly.

I system needs to increase to 4 lanes E & W - N & S just so we can get to E85 lol. Will need all the energy available + more just to feed the super big machines needed to build the dikes to stop the rising waters and you just know they will be powered by huge electric motors. Call it/them the F2100 /F2150
