So my new Nissan Titan truck is a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV), which means it can run on e85, a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. “Ethanol is a high octane, liquid, domestic and renewable fuel, produced by the fermentation of plant sugars. In the United States, ethanol is typically produced from corn and other grain products, although in the future it may be economically produced from other biomass resources such as agricultural and forestry wastes or specially grown energy crops.”

I finally got around to looking for an e85 fuel station. Do’h. Not gonna happen. At least for now. There’s one in Berkeley (insert Berkeley joke here) and one in Livermore. Dammit. So much for using e85 in my truck in the near future. Maybe they’ll put a filling station somewhere in San Jose one of these days. If so, I’m happy to go out of my way to use it, but Berkeley or Livermore? Yeah, right.
