Here's my best guess. They're talking about ethanol85 gas. I currently live near Mount Pleasant, Iowa. I pay about $3 a gallon for the cheapest "normal" gas. This subsidized ethanol version is now $2.15. I used it once, and it nearly wrecked my new car. My mechanic told me to never use it again.

Thank you! Iowa City is a great little city. Lots of great cheap food for college kids and nice restaurants for professors. I'm looking forward to this experience. And I have friends my age who live in town!

Okay, BUY NOTHING is a great script idea. I'm going to use it unless you beat me to it.
