| Things like this dont vanish overnight. There is a "glide path" towards obsolescence and disappearance. The reality is the normal driving public does not use E85. The miniscule fraction of a % who will do whatever NPR tells them to do will not support E85. So spare me the story about some guy you know who works with your neighbor who uses it all the time. Once manufacturers stop getting gov kickbacks for producing flex-fuel vehicles, primarily for fleet sales, then the demand will dry up and stations will stop wasting their time and resources stocking it. Only domestic manufacturers and japanese manufacturing facilities inside the US waste their time producing these flex-fuel vehicles that no one wants. I was DD shopping a couple years ago and most dealerships don't even stock flex-fuel vehicles on their lots. Their sales staff dont know or understand a damn thing about them. THAT is the harbinger of doom right there. It is really just a matter of time. Either an election cycle, or GM and Chrysler return to bankruptcy and don't get another bailout for their crap business practices.
