Just wondering, and I admit I am no petroleum expert here, but how does adding ethanol to gasoline affect it’s combustion efficiency? Does it even run better, because if it does not, it’s a practical reason not to up the blend of ethanol within gasoline.

However, either replacing gasoline with natural gas or some other source would be a major overhaul of the infrastructure, and would need some serious citizen petitioning in order to work.

Good idea! Let’s wreck ALL of the internal combustion engines in the USA that haven’t already been wrecked by 10% laffanol.

Thank God there are fuel stations in my area that sell unadulterated premium GASoline. I have not had any problems with my ATV, Chainsaw, or snowblower engines since changing over to PURE GAS.

Of course, I expect PURE GAS to be outlawed soon and I may have to drive all the way into a northern country nearby to get the real stuff. I don’t want to mention any name of that northern country because I doubt if any of the EPA morons could figure it our if I keep it a secret...

So what interest do the oil producers have in this other than the fact that they want you to buy gasoline instead of ethanol? How else are they being hurt by it?

Ethanol doesn’t work and the EPA knows it, They are just stealing money.

Is there any gasoline oput there without ethanol?

Please Post the names.

Ethanol has destroyed my leaf blower and outboard motor. I need to find where to buy gas without it. If it costs more that will be more than made up by the 10% drop I get in gas mileage.

Just so nobody forgets: The ethanol was mandated when Republicans controlled the Presidency, the Senate, and the House.

It was in 2005 that Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act that mandates the use of ethanol in gasoline, which was signed by George W Bush.

It’s also worth remembering that Nixon signed the original EPA legislation and George HW Bush signed the Clean Air Amendments that enable the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide as an air pollutant.

In a world where corn is essential food, it would be legitimate to BAN ETHANOL use in vehicles.

While I do believe that ethanol has a place, I do not agree with the E15 mandate.

Most engines can not run that blend very well if they are older.

How can we find out if the gas we buy has ethanol? My car is 2002, my pick-up is 1979, my tractor 1948...and the thought that after all these years of faithful service their engines would be ruined....scares me. Plus...I have a chain saw, two tillers, a small generator.....

Is there a website that can inform you about who’s gas is really ‘all gas’?

Ethanol ruins gas pumps and underground storage tanks.

Ethanol is alcohol and mixes with water, not oil.

Has water in gasoline ever been a good thing?

Ohhh geeeez Louise...WAKE UP, America.
