Why not prep the car for E85?

[QUOTE="DSG2003SVT, post: 14967281, member: 29534"] I'm not going to get into this huge ethical debate yet again, but I'll just make a few quick points, and then let it be. Unless you only eat grass fed beef, grain fed chicken, and wild caught fish, you really can't complain about improper use of corn. I'm vegan, so consider that my Al Gore carbon credit for the 15 gallons per month of E70 I used to burn. Corn feeding makes our meat products unhealthy to eat, and corn isn't even very healthy for anyone to eat. Its only notable healthy effect is fiber because you can't digest the kernel skins. You could argue that corn is more suitable for fuel than food. E10 decreases carbon emissions by 7% over ethanol free gasoline. E85 reduces them by 60%. You can argue the use of ethanol fuel 800 different directions, and I'm not sure that any of them would be correct outside of individual opinions. All that said, I strongly support alternative ethanol production through waste and algae. I think it pretty much eliminates the controversy other than oil company propaganda. However, that's not going to make me sweat filling my Mustangs with corn liquor in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
