I live in Indiana. We have an ethanol plant about every other county at this point.

Still cant buy the stuff without a bit of a drive.

The big disapointment to the local farmers with E85 production is that bad or spoiled corn that used to just be burnt, now is a great product to fermint(sp?). So farmers have sold some corn, but now E85 plants are being smarter about what grade of a product can be used to make E85. If you have ever smelled(sp) spoiled corn in a grain silo, you will discover it is well on its way to E85!

I know there is massive research going into E85 to make it be more efficient then gasoline. There are some websites that talk about adding a certain amount of acetone into e85 to make it more efficient.

I am sure some economist can tell us how huge the net benefit is to our US economy with e85 money staying local.

Many grains can be used to fermit, along with grasses and certain types of moss.
