Both my 2006 Chevrolet Silverado pickup and my 1964 Minneapolis-Moline farm tractor run on ethanol. Detractors on this board frequently claim that ethanol will ruin a gasoline engine, but the combustion chamber of my 42 year old tractor looks virtually brand new.

There are a few hundred thousand vehicles between the two vintages you listed that don't do so well on E85. My point in this lobbying adventure is to inform people that RIGHT NOW you can buy a car that runs either gasoline or a more patriotic E85 and give up nothing except maybe a few more bucks in some cases. I'm glad W decided to advertise this at the SOTUS, but I am not happy that he chose to demonize petroleum in the process.
