low sulfur diesel

Saw a story about how Brazil is running a lot of cars that can run  
either ethanol (made from home-grown sugar cane) or gasoline and that  
any time the cost of crude is above $32 / barrel the ethanol is  
cheaper to run.  So guess what the fuel of choice is?   Biggest thing  
was they had to mandate that service stations sell the ethanol.  That  
would be a big problem here.  I think we only have one station in all  
of Michigan that carries E85, for instance.  If you think about it,  
why would a station that sells oil want to sell something that  
competes with it at presumably considerably less profit?

.....ingo, maybe it helps get people's attention if you put a link to
the US Govt agency designed to deal with this sort of thing.
been "common knowlege" for a while now I thought, but maybe not?
