VP 110 is 8.00/gallon. If it costs you double your gas price to make 30hp MANY people won't be running E85. I don't think it will be that bad, but corn futures are up 60%. Ethanol is still selling off stocks that they had from last summer. Expect the cost of gas, and E85 to keep climbing as the effects of the drought are felt in the months to come. Personally I think if the cost of ethanol keeps climbing it's not going to be part of our gas supply for very long. Something to think about at least.
