There are only 2 or 3 E85 stations in Las Vegas and I don't think there are any biodiesel stations here.
There's actually E85 for SALE in the US somewhere????
If you don't mine, what's it going for a gallon???? Just curious as to what the pricing is on it which would indicate to me how high gas will have to go before E85 becomes an economic incentive.
As for trains and public transportation, I live in a small town in a small county in the coastal bend of Texas. Public transportation does not exist here or in the county. Victoria is the largest town nearby, 30 miles. Corpus is 85 miles away. They both have busses.
We have the old train station here, tracks were taken out many years ago and it sits as a historical relic with a historical marker out front.
Any trains coming here are coming to a dead end, so this is their only destination. I don't think they were using diesel electrics yet when our station closed. If I need to get anywhere, I do it with gasoline. I currently run a small engine repair at my shop at home and am partially retired, but when I was working at the plant it was a 6 mile commute. We had LOTS and LOTS of guys commuting 45 miles there from Victoria. They're all probably crying right now. I can only laugh. Most of 'em live for today, have to drive the biggest truck they can to impress everyone, live in Victoria where the stores are and such, their excuse. Well, I always figured I'd rather drive to a store and make a shopping day of it than have to commute 45 miles one way to work everyday...
Anyway, I am working, partnered, doing the wrenching at a farm and ranch services shop over in Edna, 34 miles from my home. But, I only go over there average 3 days a week to take care of business and I ride a motorcycle when I do. My business is growning at my own shop and foresee the day I'll bring my toolbox home from Edna and just work here. Besides, I don't have to split any profits here.
Right now, I'm working both shops while my business builds, though. Heck, if I had that electric scooter, I wouldn't care WHAT gas prices did except that it limits my travel to race motorcycles or go hunting or on trips. No big deal if I have to slow down on all that. I have a place here to hunt, 30 miles from town, and I like duck hunting here on the public areas that are local. And, the fishing is GREAT.
Oh, you wanna talk gas consumption, how 'bout your outboard?
Maybe I need a kayak or small sailing sloop?:banghead: Oh, and BTW, how well does two stroke oil mix with E85? I know the kart guys run methanol in their two strokes.
