Possibly, there is also some skepticism that current production fuel systems are up for the task.

Some say E85 is bad for fuel systems and engines in general. With a good tune I have not seen any issues thus far.

either way, carry on...

I run my car on a blend of E85 and BP Ultimate (tuned for this blend). I use a blend because my injectors arent big enough to run E85 straight. Powerwise ive gotten more power over normal BP Ultimate, the E85 is currently $1 a litre here and my economy has improved slightly due to the extra power and torque with no change in driving style.

The downside is I can only get it from 1 place in Adelaide. Having more pumps for me is a good thing. Im all for it. But Id rather a Mr Fusion & hover conversion thanks :P

I think it's a good thing. They are already exporting them to South America aren't they? Which is an E100 infrastructure if I'm not mistaken. I really like this household waste idea, makes more sense than dead dinosaur and is not without merit.
