Central Texans... HEB now carrying E85
Some of them along the I35 corridor anyways. I haven't seen E85 available anywhere around here, might have to drive down to Buda to get the Explorer filled up.

You can now fill up for less at some pumps in Austin, if your car accepts E-85 fuel.
H-E-B unveiled the gas alternative at its pumps Wednesday. The gas is 85 percent ethanol, which comes from corn, and 15 percent unleaded gas.
The gas sells for 60 cents less than regular unleaded.
"[It's] great for the environment. It's great for domestic fuel use to have an alternative from foreign oil. And it's great for the budget," H-E-B spokeswoman Leslie Lockett said.
The Environmental Protection Agency supports E-85 because it burns 45 to 65 percent cleaner, but you have to have an E-85 compatible car to use it.
The H-E-B on Parmer Lane in Austin carries the fuel.

What makes your car e85 compatable? I understand the Flexfuel cars, but are there cars out there that were not designed for e85 that will run safely on e85?
