There are not many places to get this fuel mixture. And it appears they are just now mainstreaming it with logos in car commercials.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/infrastructure/e85_stations.cgi">MAP OF FLEX-FUEL STATIONS (not many nation-wide)</a> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />The gas mileage appears to be the same BUT the emissions are lower. I drive a 2000 Mustang it is not flex-fuel capable BUT if it were I'd be curious about loss of power using this mixture versus the Mid and High Grade fuels that I use.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />Until Next Time,</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Joey Stubblefield</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://used-carlots.com/">Online Since 1999!
