In the past twelve months the number of E85 stations in the United States has jumped by sixty percent with over 1,200 stations now in operation. That number is expected to continue climbing especially once Underwriters Labs starts certifying ethanol pumping equipment. If you've got an E85-capable vehicle and want to try some out head over to the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition site and find your nearest station.

Now I know why my milage has been decreasing while the price of corn, Big Oil profits and the national debt has continued to increase. Corn ethanol... we've been hoodwinked again!

Yes, but adding another hundred E85 station to the hundreds already in Minnesota or Illinois doesn't do the country good as a whole.
Look at WHERE the E85 stations are and then where concentrations of drivers are. On the heavily populated coasts of the country we have woefully too few E85 stations. Go to http://www.e85refueling.com/ and then look at this population density map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/USA-2000-population-density.gif
We need more E85 stations, but they need to be more widespread to make any kind of difference. Some kind of infrastructure needs to be built to transport the fuel through pipelines for it to be a viable fuel.

The only thing we have in the east coast of Canada is E10.
Wouldn't mind trying some in my mitsubishi.
Still got to wait... By then I'll buy a fully electric car.

Screw that, E85 is only 10% cheaper than regular grade. So if you lose 30% in mileage. That is not good for the pocketbook, when you consider it is effectively an extra $1 a gallon.
That would be nice to live in those white boxes in Montana.
