I have burned ETOH in my truck since the early 80s and don’t see the difference. Living in Iowa, it was everywhere early on.


Isn’t the ethanol blend cheaper at the pump as well?
I’d rather support USA farmers than Saudi Oil Shieks. But most of all, I wish we would drill here, now!

It was a few cents cheaper at the time and I have seen it a dime cheaper in Neb. I guarantee much of the carping about ETOH use is fueled by the oil shieks.

I am sure the oil shieks would enjoy the profits.

We could drill for our own oil to replace that missing 10%.

Minnesota should get out of the business of subsidizing the state's ethanol industry, the Legislative Auditor's office said today.

Did Governor "Green Jeans" Pawlenty know and approve of this?

I fully understand that, but with the current middle east president ruling the serfs, it ain’t gonna happen; I guarantee it. If anything, Hussein will do all in his power to increase our dependence on foreign influences. His hope and change will bring our current wealth as a nation to despair. His teleprompters are going to distribute our wealth to the rest of world—this is the big picture.

Our dependence on foreign energy sources will in fact increase under this administration. That is the plan of BO to redistribute US wealth to foreign nations. It isn’t so much about redistributing wealth within the country as outside the country—this is the goal of Husseina and his teleprompters.
