Ethanol fuel can currently only be found in the mid-west. There are many issues with ethanol fuel. The most recent issue raised is that ethanol fuel dramatically increases ground level Ozone, which is a health hazzard.

The supply of gas stations that provide E85 (15% gasoline and 85% ethanol) for these Flex Fuel vehicles is small but growing. Currently, there are only some 1,100 E85 pumps and 1,000 biodiesel pumps in the U.S., according to a statement from Detroit-based automakers. General Motors and Ford are helping states install E85 pumps to boost the fuel’s availability. GM is working with 12 states to expand the availability of E85. By year-end, GM and Colorado will have installed 40 new E85 pumps at 22 gas stations across the state, which will give Colorado 50 pumps. Ford has teamed up with VeraSun Corp. to develop the first "Midwest Ethanol Corridor," which will increase the number of E85 ethanol pumps by one- third to 50 in Illinois and Missouri. There also are programs to install more E85 pumps in Michigan, and California also is building an infrastructure of E85 pumps. You might try visiting National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition's online site to find out where there are E85 pumps (http://www.e85refueling.com/).
