How does this change the bottom line supply? If there are 1000 people driving cars that take unleaded, and you have 87, 89 and 91 octane, then 200 of those people start driving on E85, and then another 50 start driving on E70, that's actually an INCREASE in petro supply compared to consumption because the E70 and E85 fuels use less actual petro.

There's also a finite amount of pumps and tanks that are available. It's not like shelf space at the market where one can easily introduce a new bag of potato chip. There are guidelines to tanks at filling stations.
