1. E85 is much better for the environment. 2. You actually end up with a surplus of food when you make ethanol. Ethanol is usually made from corn, corn which is usually fed to animals after. That corn HAS to be fermented (making ethanol) before it can be made into feed for the animals anyway. So you don't actually lose any food, you actually have a surplus of it. Check the stats, this is correct. 3. In most E-85 ready vehicles (especially Chevrolet) the timing is actually retarded in the computer calculation for the E-85 vehicles making them get worse gas mileage. I could go on, but what I'm saying is you have been told a lot of lies and BS from the automobile industry who are directly influenced by the big oil companies. This is why bills in congress to allow fuel choice in america are routinely shot down. Who would benefit from a lack of fuel choices for consumers? Oil companies. It's not rocket science.

Has anybody tried using anything like the SCT Tuner, etc. to change the transmission shift points to make it drive a little better? I like my Edge, like not love, but the transmission is terrible. Slow slushy shifts, clunks now and then, driving slow in traffic is a nightmare the way it bucks from 1st to second sometimes. I know I'm not the only one who has had these issues. Mine has been present since the day I bought it. Very tempted to get rid of this vehicle and get something more fun to drive if I can't fix this transmission.
