A lot of people out there love ethanol fuel.  Myself, I don't like it.  My truck can use E-85, and when I use to use it, my mileage dropped from a normal 18mpg to 12mpg.  If you figure the cost per mile, it comes out to be .166 cents per mile with regular fuel at $3 per gallon verse .208 cents per mile with E85 that costs $2.50 per gallon.  So, if you want to save the earth, it is actually more environmentally sensible to use regular fuel then ethanol. (This is MY own experience, yours might be different.)
