There was an article in the Wall St. Journal today mentioning ethanol providers. Most are currently privately held. There are two companies with IPO's expected in the near future.
The second and third largest companies were mentioned as coming out with IPO's soon.
Here is the list of Ethanol providers according to the Wall St. Journal:
1) Archer-Daniels-Midland(ADM) 2) Verasun Energy (IPO coming) 3) Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings (IPO coming) 4) Carghill 5) Andersons (In Maumee, Ohio) 6) Pacific Ethanol
Hey Maumee River, know anything about Andersons? It is currently privately held.
Or maybe Bob knows something about them?

E85 is the term for motor fuel blends of 85 percent ethanol and just 15 percent gasoline. E85 is an alternative fuel as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy. Besides its superior performance characteristics, ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline; it is a completely renewable, domestic, environmentally friendly fuel that enhances the nation's economy and energy independence.
Today, the U. S. imports more than half of its oil, and overall consumption continues to increase. By supporting ethanol production and use, U.S. drivers can help reverse that trend. 85% ethanol can reduce pollution. Government tests have shown that E85 vehicles reduce harmful hydrocarbon and benzene emissions when compared to vehicles running on gasoline. E85 can also reduce carbon dioxide (CO2), a harmful greenhouse gas and a major contributor to global warming.
Although CO2 is released during ethanol production and combustion, it is recaptured as a nutrient to the crops that are used in its production. Unlike fossil fuel combustion, which unlocks carbon that has been stored for millions of years, use of ethanol results in low increases to the carbon cycle.
Ethanol also degrades quickly in water and, therefore, poses much less risk to the environment than an oil or gasoline spill.
XLPI has conversion kits to change your engine so it can run on E85

Install the harness which is a very simple process and have the customer flip the switch after 2000 miles and then start using E85. The harness allows for the proper amount of fuel to enter the system so it burns efficiently and also allows for them to run on pure gas as well as a mix of E85 and regular gas in seconds.
