So expect to see the price spread between E85 and Gasoline continue to narrow for the next few weeks .. hopefully everything gets back to normal soon .
Still some excellent price spreads around the Country , just letting you know when you see E85 almost the same as Gasoline in some areas ..that is what is going on.
Retail Stations that are dealing Directly with their local ethanol plants will still see great price spreads ..

It didn't seem to affect the prices down here.. E85 is always around $0.20 to $0.40 lower in price than Regular Unleaded. Some local stations are just perpetually higher in E85 price.. others are always lower.
