i like E85 and stuff like that its just so hard to find(not that ive tried yet because my car isnt set up for it) but the reason i like is not because it helps the enviroment. i could care less about "green house effect" i like the octane rating of it. and does that stuff really smell like popcorn when you drive or what does it smell like??
