Remember that most of the cost of drinking alcohol is taxes. Fuel grade ethanol is running above $1.10 a gallon on the spot market. Most of the ethanol in California would have been contracted for less months ago.

I work in ethanol (for the time being!). The reason that some places experience higher prices with blended gas is that many refineries don't have the facilities to blend ethanol.

Thank you for your clarification. I admit I was shooting in the dark. I have always wanted to drink my Jim Beam rather than burn it. That, along with fear, is what has kept me from flaming drinks like escordial.
