Apparently, we have a couple of E85 vans at Agriculture Canada where I work
that are designed to work with this stuff.  I have no intention of even
finding out 'where' the station is, let alone trying to use it.

Unless you have a special carb with sort of remote sets on your jets, it
won't work in a regular gas carb.  It takes close to double the volume of
alcohol to make your car run OK, compared to Gasoline.  That's one of the
main reasons the pump gas doesn't contain more than 10% alcohol.
