I just bought this domain and was wondering how much some of you thought it would be worth? E85 is the 85% 15% gasoline mix. Locally, it's about 40 cents cheaper than regular gasoline. I think that E85 will become more popular as the gas prices keep soaring. I figured a person could start an E85 informational site with adsense. There are other sites out there selling conversion kits so that cars can run off of the E85.
The domain by itself right now probably not worth much. Simply because few people would even begin to know what trye85 would be about. Best way to build up the domain, is to build a site with it with tons of information about e85, vehicles that can run on e85, where to get e85, what e85 is, and so forth. Popularity of e85 will only increase (not because of high prices) when major players get into promoting this. In other words, right now, no major oil chain or major gas station chain is into having e85 pumps. One is cost...new pumps, storage, etc. Two is the fact that at present, only about 15% of vehicles on the road (USA) can easily switch to e85. Now the latest news is that wal mart is looking into having e85 pumps at their gas stations. If this comes to past where they get e85 into their gas stations nationwide, then you will see increased usage, etc etc. But before that comes to past, the hurdle of even having ethanol in gas has to become universal. Only certain states have a decent distribution of ethanol mix. Like good old Iowa! LOL
I figured that's what I would have to do. I already have ideas of what to do with it if I built a site. I just don't have the time right now. Good info.
