After returning from my trip to Milwaukee, I noticed the ol’ fuel indicator was heading south. What better time to test out the E-85 (85% Ethanol, 15% gasoline) capabilities of my mother’s flexible fuel vehicle? And at $1.759 a gallon (here in Illinois, not the corn-friendly Iowa where mid-grade is actually cheapest) the price wasn’t even prohibitive.

Now if it all works out, the only problem is finding places to re-fuel. There’s a site at home, but it’s not available to me…yet. Perhaps if I commit a felony…
