A few stations out here (Colorado) have introduced separate pumps painted 
corn yellow that dispense E-85 "Motor Fuel". Although designated only for 
vehicles designated "flexfuel", which newer models are, the clerk behind the 
counter tells me I can spend about $100 to $200 to convert my 1987 truck, or 
mix about 25% with normal fillups.

Very attractive price, 70 cents less than Regular. That is $2.399 vs $3.099 
per gallon. Clerk expects no difference in relative pricing as prices 
change.
