[DeTomaso] E85 Octane

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp.]

I know one car ran on E85 in the Indy 500 (it was very good race) and next 
year there is talk about all the cars running on alcohol.

If I or the government has to subsidizes a group of people I can not thing 
of anyone better then the farmers.

Larry (2.85 for 91 in Oh.) - Cleveland
