It's gas with alcohol in it. All stations have it - it's hard to find 100% gasoline. Vehicles that use flex fuel can run on regular gasoline or a combination of regular gasoline and ethanol. Flex fuel vehicles can run on a combination of up to 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.

old posts but still, just to help clarify how "they" use corn as a weapon to scare people, citing higher feed costs etc, well, that is true - if you use corn. Those who have not done their research or else are trying to deliberately mislead you will tell you how corn is the best product to make ethanol with due to it's high sugar content. If you have ever been to the south, chances are you have seen this terribly invasive weed called kudzu. Brought here to help with soil erosion along side roads, it turned out to be the weed from hell and quickly took over, covering everything in it's path and it's extremely hard to get rid of once established. If I'm not mistaken, one of the most productive ways to at least semi-control it is using goats. The 1st time you see this invasive weed it will probably shock you - entire tree lines disappear underneath it, electric poles and lines look as tho their actual purpose is to give kudzu a place to reach high into the sky - a terribly invasive weed which can't be killed or controlled - if one would stop simply parroting the "news they agree with" and actually use that gray matter between their ears tho they wouldn't have to look very hard to find out kudzu nearly matches corn as far as it's sugar content. Haven't followed it for years as I've lost hope for this country but their used to be a company in Chattanooga Tn making ethanol out of kudzu. They use scare tactics, telling u how the price of food will rise because ethanol needs to be made from corn when that is the furtherst from the truth as one can be. Next time u are driving and gaze out and marvel at how that kudzu has literally swallowed everything in it's path and knowing no matter how much u kill, it continues swallowing everything in it's path, don't just marvel at the beauty of it, marvel instead that you are looking at a weed that matches corn in it's sugar content yet since the petrol companies believe their is a little more money to be squeezed out of their product, most likely figuring they have done their job so well it's more than likely it's too late to lessen the life altering changes to the planet we've left our children, a world in which the CIA in their 50 year projection predicts civil wars, states fighting states over silly things like water because no matter what the government leads u to believe, the CIA and the military do not doubt climate change in the least and are actually planning on it yet those who know the truth will still obfuscate the truth, caring not in the least the life altering damage left in their wake simply because xxx trillions wasn't enough for them, they needed that xxx+1 trillion so would have u believe u must use corn for ethanol when there is an invasive weed we can't control that would do just as well.......it's the de-evolution of man, I marvel at how seemingly reasonably intelligent people are so easily swayed by falsehoods that are so obviously false, obviously lies ....but, hey, I no longer care, no one else does, too busy playing fortnite
