Last year, when ethanol was a hot topic, and the Bush administration was pushing the production of ethanol from corn, GM planned to produce E85 cars, i.e. 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. But economic reality showed that there are just extremely limited filling stations carrying E85. GM has not even mentioned any of its planned E85 cars.

Considering that you'll have a hard time finding a filling station, would you buy a E85 car? Will AAA send its rescue car to help you if you run out of E85?

The administration has been accused of making so many stupid decision, but E85 is one of the dumbest idea.
