The only reason I bring it up is there is a mild performance difference in a tuned car especially when going with boost and the choice at the pump is a nice thing to have
Myself, it is available where I live, at one independent gas station in every major town (pop 20,000+). And the price varies throughout the year since we have 4 seasons so the winter grade is 70% and almost the same price per GALLON as Gasoline at only 20cents cheaper. Needless to say our local Ethanol, with very little doubt, comes from Corn. I know that the only way to go from the first gen to second gen is to support it until it matures. And I would much rather pay that little bit extra per mile for Ethanol, knowing what it is and what it is capable of doing, than to be required to put that crap known as Gasoline.

In San Diego, there is also only 1 station (Off El Cajon Blvd and the I-15). It used to be a Ford dealership/FF station but due to the economy, the dealership moved out but the FF station remains. It doesn't seem like it's doing too well either.
