May I suggest to those whose home states have a number of E85 (ethanol) stations to get E85 compliant vehicles? I have a 2005 Chevy Avalanche which is compliant..... unfortunately the only E85 station in ALL of California is in San Diego. I do know that all the 2006 GM "big" SUVs (e.g., Tahoe) as well as all 2005 Avalanches can use E85.
Oh, E85 is $2.39/gal in SD.
