Gas is up to 3.20 where I live, and 4.05 where I work. That brings up a good questions. What happens to my car if I put ethanol in it? GM has all these flex fuel cars coming out, and some people say most of the cars we already drive WILL work on ethanol. But I wonder, is this gonna have the same effect as putting deisel in my Mustang?

I wish I drove a Deuce and a half. You can run that on anything. Deisel, gasoline, karoseen(cant spell). When I was in iraq, we drove ours with 100LL racing fuel. We couldn't get our hands on JP8, but I bet wiskey would work.
 
In Houston, all gas is 10% ethenol. Car runs, but it's slightly leaner and lossed some power. As for E85, couldn't say what would happen when you put gas that is 85% ethenol in. Ethenol doesn't burn as strong as octane/heptane.
