Where's the outrage? Gas prices are shooting up and doing so without the evil Bush and his rich white oil friends behind the curtains pulling the strings! Why no outrage at Obama...he's the one in charge now! Not to mention not a peep over the gazzillion jobs lost and the failure of the "Porkulous Bill" that he and his band of Marxist own! Why so quiet leftist....is your gas cheaper than our's on the right....are you not losing jobs on the left just as we on the right are losing them...even the auto-workers are losing tens of thousands of jobs after Obama took over their factories and after they all gave him zillions of campaign dollars and then voted for him!

Change you can believe in NOW isn't it? If you won't wake-up now... you had better at least roll over!!! This is really happening...it isn't a dream!

You do have other options. The change I can believe in now is E85. E85 is $1.74 a gallon. The money you spend on E85 does not leave the country. It stays here supporting local jobs.

Where is a DOT owned gas station where people not in state owned vehicles can buy gasoline in New Hanover County NC?

   There is a lot of controversy popping up over E85.  Mechanics are encountering a variety of problems, and damage that they are attributing to it's use.  Apparently the nationwide blend of 10% is at the ragged edge of problem free use.  Of course, it has been a given for sometime that mileage suffers with the E90.  I know a number of high-mileage drivers who have computed the loss of efficiency, and found that they are money ahead to use pure gasoline at a higher cost.  The upshot is that the Great Ethanol Solution is shaping up as another "green" boondoggle, with ignored, or unexpected costs, and the usual crop of unintended consequences.

gus is right. e85 is the wrong mix. and it will damage your little gas engines: Lawn mower, trolling motor, etc. be sure to get non-oxygenated gas for them. Ethanol from switch grass or cellulose will be better for the environment than corn ethanol but the big wigs latched onto the distillary business and at least in Mn it meant the then speaker of the house, his brothers and the current gov. All republicans.

I'll answer my own question....there is no place in this state that a private auto owner can buy gas from a state owned facility...you must first have a digital "key" to get the pumps to work...the "key" is assigned to the vehicle's #...and to the person's ID #. LOL...anyone want to challenge that?
