Not many stations have it yet. The demand has grown incredibly, thus the price going up. There are on plan, 30 new ethanol plants in construction or planned to be in the next few years in Illinois alone. The ethanol industry also succeeded in getting tariffs on imported ethanol, so that has pumped the price too. Brazil has big time excess capacity, makes most of theirs with sugarcane. We here in the USA can make it from corn, beans, saw grass, and sugarcane. It would be nice to see the end of sugar subsidies ( thus the price of food items go down, plus jobs could stay here, like in the candy industry. It would also reduce the use of corn based sweetners some...hopefully ), as the ethanol cold support it ( although, I dont know how it would effect the sugar beet farmers, is their product a candidate for ethanol ), get govt out of another industry.
