So....let me make sure Im understanding this ok...

You guys wana make this...

Into this....

so that we can have gas below 2 bucks?

The MAIN point behind E85 will be and will continue to be the end of outside oil dependance, aka the Middle East. It does not matter how much oil WE have, we still NEED the middle east. WE dont have enough oil to support us for very long. No one said E85 will replace or will be manditory for every single car.
And its not mega expensive to own one!! You can get a 23k Impala that runs on E85 in its V6's. There is no major cost you get hit with when you buy an E85 vehicle. Maybe now, but if the parts are more common on vehicles, like they will be for GM, the economies of scale will take place, and it will be nothing to own one, unlike the ownership of a hybrid drive system.
