Minnesota has mandated 10% ethanol in gas for years & years. Just passed a new mandate of 20% ethanol by 2012 or so in all gasoline. As well diesel fuel in Minnesota will need to contain 2% bio (soybean) in it by 2007 I believe, ramping up to 5% in the following years. E85 (15% gasoline, 85% ethanol) is available at many, many gas stations here in Minnesota, would be able to find it every 50 miles or closer where I live. Many newer bigger vehicles can run on that. Currently it is priced at $1.47 a gallon in my town, vs gasoline (10% ethanol of course) at $1.97. As sulfar is outlawed in diesel fuel, the bio will naturally be needed to add lubricity to the fuel..... I know a lot of 'city folk' are anti- these bio fuels, but a lot of that seems to come from mis-information about them. Many farmers are splash blending their own bio-fuel on the farm & using up to 25% in their $200,000 tractor & combines around here, and ethanol has been around for what, over a decade here? If these things work in our harsh climate..... --->Paul
