Great now government will destroy your car engine too
So there.
My Subaru STI already sees a 5mpg drop on winter blend vs summer blend.
I can’t wait to see how well it runs on 15% ethanol :-(
E10 is already wreaking havoc on my engine.
Looking down the road, there is substantial interest among the engine and automobile companies in the mid-level blends such as E30 or E40 in order to meet future mileage and emissions standards. Ethanol has a lower energy density than gasoline so there is a mileage penalty at a 10 percent blend. But ethanol also has higher octane, and at higher blends this erases the mileage penalty and burns cleaner as well.
The engine manufacturers, including the small engine manufacturers, should have shifted to a flex fuel standard years ago.
It would be interesting to see Monsanto’s influence in all this, since they are a major supplier of corn for ethanol.
so I guess once it blows up a few engines WE will have standing?
It isn't the oil industry who lost, it's all of the citizens who own and operate motor vehicles.
The oil industry is not so much the loser as is the American consumer. This is an evil decision, ‘bought’ with Big Ag funds wanting to support the food for fuel agenda.
They better perfect the electric car before they ban gas cause ethanol is shi*.
