You know, I actually would. Except that the one station near here which sells E85 doesn't seem to understand the concept that since E85 has a lower energy density than gasoline, it should be priced less than or equal to gasoline on a cost-per-energy-equivalent basis.
Perhaps the Higgs Boson will save us.
Or perhaps not.

Random fact:
I haven't driven in three weeks.
Underlying truth:
This is principally because my car is substantially dismantled, and much of it is piled up in the living room.

I have one dedicated shirt which is used for cycling in the morning. It's an old, red Hawaiian shirt that's gotten a bit threadbare. I wear it just for the morning ride, and then change into a nicer shirt which I bring with me. I wear the "nice" shirt on the ride home, and carry the old shirt. The old shirt gets used for one week, and then washed on the weekend. So my net shirt utilization has only increased by one unit per week.
The pants situation is similar. One pair of black jeans is kept at the office, and I wear some old, ratty jean shorts for both the morning and afternoon rides. On Friday, I bring the work jeans home and wash them, and on Monday I bring fresh jeans with me for the week.
How much more would you like to know about how ---- I am concerning my bathing / dressing habits?
