The local Denver news did a story on ethanol and the Coors Brewing company in Golden Colorado. Apparently they built an ethanol plant 2 years ago to turn what they used to haul to the dump into ethanol. They produced 3 million gallons last year and doubled their capacity this year to an expected 6 million. What's sad is that's just a drop in the bucket for what is needed just in the front range area.

I bought my wife a flex fuel van in 2000 and we couldn't even get ethanol until just this past year. The fuel efficiancy is 15% less than when we run it on regular and the cost is 15% less. It's a wash but we aren't contributing to the mid east problems.

I bought a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)/bi-fuel (runs on regular as well) '98 Contour for myself to comute in because I drive 110 miles a day. I put 120,000 miles on it in 3 years and just bought a 2003 CNG/Bi-Fuel Cavalier to replace it. I get the same milage and get this I pay $1.04 a gallon, there's an alternative for you...
