Edelbrock E85 carburetor
I know someone was telling me about this a while back, but we couldn't find the link. Anyway, I found it. Check it out:

This should take a lot of the guesswork out of E85 conversions, eh?

If someone has a high compression engine that needs more than 92 - 93 octane, E85 would be good buy.

Also there is a lot of room here in NC/SC so they could build a refinery in each state to supply most if not all of the South with E85 and provide another improvement of the unemployment rate and economy.

Prices vary due to the government subsidies applied. Due to the high cost of alcohol at the moment it should be more expensive than plain gas if it were not for the subsidies. Of course subsidies are another name for how to "rob Peter to pay Paul", with the government lining their own pockets at the same time. So it is how to "rob Peter to pay Paul and your local legislator(s)"...

Subsidizing oil companies and one specific fuel are two different things. If there's an industry with a fat profit ATM, that's them. IMHO, the more important subsidy (indirect) is to the farmers who grow the corn.
