No one is forcing you to run your car on better crocker's cooking lard or whatever other fuel we come up with. but damnit, if it minimizes the need for gasoline, let it catch on for some percent of the world.

Amen! The biggest sin in all of this is that it's going to be very difficult to keep older cars on the road. I'm not only talking about our hotrods and muscle cars. There are PLENTY OF people that can't afford to go out and spend $20-30K every few years on a new car, so they drive older used stuff.
I know I'm not going to be in the financial position to buy a "new" car for a very long time, so I gotta keep driving my "old" American iron. And, while the 8.5:1 compression ratio of the 4.0 in my Jeep is great for running on regular unleaded, it's gonna SUCK for this E85 crap.
