Default No more E85?

I've been hearing word of mouth that E85 is being "discontinued" i guess you could say? Im just curious if anybody else has heard this. Im about ready to be re-tuned from pump to E85 but I've been hearing its being "discontinued." Just looking for any info on this or if its true.

Also, is there any Recently updated E85 stations thread around?

Thanks guys

It would be highly cost effective to start taking E85 gas pumps out from gas stations to gas stations. And with so many flex fuel vehicle nowadays I don't see a legitimate reason why you would hear discontinue.

Unless you're way out in the middle of no where, where there isn't any E85

I'm wondering why you don't do a quick internet recon and see if the rumors have any truth behind them.

I have tried to research it but didnt find any info, I didnt know if it was because it could have been fairly new info or if what i heard was false. Just trying to see if any body else heard anything. Hand Fed has a good point though, why would flex fuel vehicles still be in production if E85 was going to be discontinued? haha makes sense.

Flex fuel cars (at least from gm's point of view) only "helps" them save on certain taxs/gov breaks. It is a load of crap with production cars. They get worse mpg. Flex fuel waste if time and money imo.
