We already have cars that will run on a blend of ethanol and gasoline, but not the kind what will run exclusively on ethanol. The technology already exists, and is being used in countries like Brazil, but it is not being used here in the States.

Rico, not exactly. I am sure you have seen the "Flex Car"? and the E80 pumps? those are the kind of cars that can run on high ethenol gas. we have them, but they are only a couple of years on the market.

it will be a while before the majority of the american fleet is switched over.... us used car buyers will take a while to come around...

Yes, I have seen the E85 pumps. In fact, a station in Terre Haute, where I used to live, was one of the first ones in Indiana to get a pump just for E85. What I meant by my post is that we are not mass producing those kinds of cars yet.
