Default Bio Ethanol in CA

Well i did a search on here and didnt come up with results so here goes. Does anyone know how accessible Bio Ethanol is here in california? If so where could i get some if i wanted to?Also, im wondering if anyone knows how hard or how much the conversion would be to make a car run on that stuff. Thanks in advance.

p.s. im going to try google now but personal insight or experience is always a plus.

wow i kind of found my own answer, but it frustrates me because it just shows more government bs. The EPA and CARB and all that crap just ____ me off because of how hypocritical they are.

there are very few (i think 4) bio-ethanol stations scattered throughout CA.

unfortunately there's only one i know that's for public.. and it's the RTC in San Diego.

i must say popcorn/french fry smelling exhaust is really nice though....

ya thats too bad that E85 isnt big yet. For some strange reasons ( ) Brazil and other nations like it are already fully on E85. Maybe its because the other nations leaders arent full shareholders of the oil companies that are Hosing us???? i think so.

Thanks for the info by the way. Also, yes, the vegtable oil fuels are something arent they? haha for how cheap it is and how easily obtainable it is, i wouldnt minds smelling like a fry all day =)
