Hi Patty, Rail and established truck routes. Logistics problems easily solved by existing infrastructure. Most ethanol plants in the Mid west. E85 is 100 gallons of ethanol and 19.2 gallons of oil based gasoline. 19.2 gallons so as to make it toxic and non drinkable. Note to panacea viewpoint the use of E85 drops MPG by 1-2 but is cheaper. Cost per mile is an equivalent and there are over 2 million GM vehicle already on the rode that are E85 compatible. After May this year all E85 vehicles made by GM will have a yellow gas cap. GM is well ahead of this evolution,which by the way is no extra charge as hybrids are. The best solution is now just being discovered and GM has been at the fore front - spose that will rock the DOW. It is incredible how poorly covered the biggest and best solution to our oil dependancy has been completely missed by the news media. Much like the "DOW AT A NEW RECORD" on the headline os Business Week signals a top - could well be the news media loving hybrids and Toyota signals the bottom of GM. So reasonable it is scary. BOOYAH GM !! Bob
