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.
