Gas stations selling ethanol to grow in '06

This article leaves out a crucial point. It's not publicized enough that the Saab 9-5 biopower mentioned at the end of the article gets gas mileage at least as good as the gasoline powered equivalent, making it a solution to the fuel efficiency problem mentioned in the article. It may be coming to the USA.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS: Gas stations selling ethanol to grow in '06:
by Michael Ellis -- Detroit Free Press -- 1/6/2006
"In years past, automakers made many of their trucks capable of burning E85 to comply with federal gas mileage regulations. But they didn't widely promote ethanol use, so consumers were unaware it was available.
That will likely change in 2006 with gas stations installing more pumps, U.S. automakers stepping up their marketing of E85, and more states such as Michigan supporting a fuel that helps farmers."
