A major one at that....

So lets see we have Walmart, Bill Gates, and another super rich tech CEO all investing in ethanol. If we get enough people behind it I can see a major change in the US oil dependence in the near future. Lets hope the politicians and hippies don't get in the way.

 

The Meijer's closest to my house just pulled their 110 racing fuel pump in order install an E85 pump.

 

It's smart for Wal-mart to seek this opportunity.

* I deleted my duplicate thread on this..

 

Works for me. The only E85 pump around here has been dry for as long as I've known about it.

 

This would be awsome. I hope this happens, and I hope the 5th Gen Camaro is flex fuel capable .

I thought Walmart gas had practically that amount of alcohol in it already

 

Why would hippies not want the cleaner, farm based fuel? Ethanol/Bio diesel is hippie fuel.

 

Go slave-mart! - Eh E85, I guess its okay, just need to burn what 7 or 8% more of it and bump the compression ratio to 11 or 12:1 to get about the same power as gasoline.

 

i thought it gave you more power but less mpg????? So i have been told.

It has the potential for more power, largely due to it's octane rating. However, on a car not built specifically around ethanol it is likely not going to net you more power. Lower mpg is going to come of ethanol, although building a very high compression ethanol engine will help negate the mpg loses some.
