That said, I would rather have seen them up the availability of E85 than go to E15
Ethanol is ethanol. Corrosiveness will not change. E85 is really not a problem on most modern cars. I assume he is talking about political and economic impacts.

As far as making e85 more available, I agree. E85 is a fantastic alternative for many vehicles. If they marketed it properly, it would be a great success. For the performance world, it's cheap 106-110 octane
