There are 19 stations in Las Vegas that sell e-85. At the Rebel oil on Paradise road, the price of e-85 was $3.49 as of 5/26, compared to $3.67 for regular unleaded. Check out this website: http://www.e85refueling.com/locations.ph...

Ethanol from corn actually produces 30% more energy than required to manufacture it, according to one government estimate.

Ethanol from garbage produces seven times (almost eight) than what is required to manufacture it. Once it becomes available, it will cost about $1 a gallon. Check out this website. www.coskata.com/

Regarding fuel economy, auto manufacturers could engineer internal combustion engines to get better fuel economy on the higher octane e-85, but so far have been unable, except in the Saab 9-5.
