E85 is here now, they just need to expand it. If a 3rd world country like Brazil can do it, something tells me that the richest country in the world can do it too.

I think you missed the point of Tim's post.
Expanding the availability of E85 will be more expensive than making some changes to current refineries to produce low-sulfur diesel. Gas stations all over the country are already selling diesel fuel, so switching is easy. There are also already lots of vehicles on the road ready to accept this new diesel fuel, whereas very few cars on the road today can run E85.
Low Sulfur diesel will be coming out in the fall, and there should be a large increase in the amount of diesel passenger cars sold here to take advantage of this new fuel. This would save a considerable amount of money over trying to switch over everything to E85.
I'm not saying that E85 is bad, it's just going to be more expensive to implement.
