Finally neither MTBE or ethanol is necessary for clean burning gasoline, it can be refined directly from the crude with modern technology, so it was all a hoax for profit.

And that's the crime of it! The damn stuff doesn't reduce emissions -- instead, it reduced mileage by about 15% while adding about 15 cents to the cost of a gallon of gasoline.

On top of which, it's a pollutant itself. That would mean we are, literally, screwed three ways from Sunday.
