Default E85 Cost and availability

I've got a GS with the Edlebrock SC, Headers and a tune. I was thinking about upgrading to run E85 but concerned E85 is going away. Getting harder to find it here in DFW and the buzz about flex flew vehicles seems to have died down. I don't want to invest the money to convert to E85 only to see it go away in a few years. Maybe i would be better off using that money for a cam and injectors. How much money does it actually cost to upgrade to E85? I don't have the time nor skill to do it myself so I will have to farm it out to 21st Century Muscle Cars.

Wrong forum. Meant to post in C6 section but the question would be availability of E85 would be relevant to the C7 owners too.

Not real sure what it takes on a c6. On a c7 it's pretty cheap. Just a flex fuel sensor and a tune. Possibly a new auxiliary low side fuel system just to help out.
