Last Thursday, went to the Shell sation to fill up with E-85, is ALWAYS 70-80 cents cheaper than Ethanol.  Drove 10 miles to get to the gas station.  E-85 was $2.59, figured I'd be getting it for $1.80 or so.  Was 3 cents HIGHER than at Yocums' on Lucas (Ethanol).  Got RIPPED 3 times!  1:  E-85 ws higher than straight ethanol.  2:  Had to drive 20 miles round trip to get it!  3:  I get from 6 to 9 miles to the gallon LESS with E-85, than I do with straight Ethanol!  Don't know who to complain to, but, I didn't EVEN get kissed!  Guess that was my LAST shot at E-95.  IF E-85 is around 40 cents CHEAPER than Ethanol, EVEN with losing 9 mpg, you're making out.  Paying 3 cents MORE per gallon, and, you just took it in the shorts.  Oh well, hope EVERYBODY had a good weekend.  Iowa won, my Vikings lost, who would've thunk!  See ya......Tom.
