I would guess that about 1% of the population cares about this issue, and then it’s way down their priority list.

I’m one of the 1% then. I have had THREE autos (two Hondas, on F150) that have had an O2 sensor fault that would troubleshoot out to a bad catalytic convertor in real life, but in fact has been caused by ethanol destroying the O2 sensors. I finally bought an OBDII CAN tools to reset the damned light....no change in performance, ever.

Add to that the fact I’ve had to rebuild the carburetors of EVERY 2 cycle engine I own, and it isn’t a usable fuel additive IMO. It’s a frigging subsidy and an ideological necessity to kill “big oil”......effing Democrats.

I could probably fill a pick up bed full of my engines ruined by alky in fuel. Fuel lines, water, corrosion, carburetors, injectors; I wish whoever dreamed this up goes straight to hell.

Well, I care about the issue for two reasons. One is government interference in what should be private business.

Two is I hate that ethanol has been forced on car drivers. It’s not good for cars.

That’s not to say it is a primary issue with me, but as it speaks to the mindset of government in business it is.
