Please stop making that stuff!! It is so bad for the Earth!! 1700 gallons of water are needed to make one gallon of E85! Also it takes 1/3 of corn production to make the stuff. Better yet, your car will get less fuel miles. Chevy says on their website, that the Impala will get 30 mpg on gas and only 20 mpg on the other stuff!! It has no good sides! I want corn to eat and water to drink, not to make my car car just a few miles!!
