Default Re: Common Sense on BioFuels

I have heard the oil companies are funding the fight against Bio Fuel, I have no way of knowing and given the choice of believing big oil or the bio fuel group, well that is a toss up, they all have too much to gain.

What I do know is I am using E-85 in my truck & driving a Hybrid, I drive both only when necessary, the truck is being driven about 2,000 miles a year, the car is @ about 7,000....I used to drive 20,000+ a year for both vehicles...I moved much closer to work & town.

I have gone from using about 800 gallons of gas a year to about 150 caused by driving less all-together, my truck hardly at all & when I do it is running only 15% gas.

I am not sure that the e-85 pays for itself as it 14% less than gas here (2.99 vs 3.46)but my truck is seeing about a 18% drop in mileage but, saving money is not my main goal.

Using less oil is
