Ethanol-Mart
Watch out for falling ethanol prices if Wal-Mart decides to start selling E85. Officials with the world’s largest retailer met recently with ethanol industry representatives to discuss the possibility of offering ethanol at its 383 U.S. gas stations.
According to an Associated Press story, Wal-Mart brought together a group of industry, government and academic experts on alternative fuels in Washington last week to discuss how Wal-Mart could develop a network for supplying gas stations at its stores and Sam’s Clubs with E-85 fuel. One of those at the meeting was National Corn Growers Association Executive Director Rick Tolman, who said a decision by Wal-Mart to offer E-85 would help solve one of the emerging industry’s problems: not enough availability for consumers.

I can’t believe the Government isn’t paving the way for E85 distribution accross the U.S. I’m sure “Big Oil Companies” aren’t happy about E85.

The news networks are about as bad as the government. If important issues could get the attention of celebrity haircuts or DUIs, what a different world it would be.
I drive a FFV and can’t find an E-85 pump within 60 miles of my home. And the ones I do are being operated by an existing gas station. Now isn’t that a conflict of their interest? What a joke. We need a company owned by the good farmers of America, and let them make their success story. Big Oil is on the downslide as far as I’d be concerned.
