E85 price advantage is becoming quite significant here...

@cjd you know what would give a price advantage? at least half of it not being taxes or "CO2" compensation.

Taxes. Petroleum is taxed very heavily, but if it doesn't come out of the ground, it doesn't get the tax.

The official story is carbon, but I tend to think France just hates dependence on foreign sourced energy.

@cjd @bonifartius some of the savings is lost by less mileage. Ethonal contains 30 percent less energy than same volume of gasoline.
