So, the farm lobby (Iowa and Kansas voting block!)
WANT engine-damaging extra ethanol be forced into the nation’s fuel supply
(since not enough gasoline is being sold now thanks to Obola’s permanently slumped economy!)
so THEY can sell more ethanol from the nation’s corn growers
at the expense of higher food prices worldwide
(which was a strong cause of the Islamic Spring revolutions a few years ago!)

(And ALL of this hurts the nation and thus is one of Obola’s desires)

but!

The enviro lobby is against forcing higher ethanol volumes?
and!
This hurts Hillary’s chances in Iowa?

Something doesn’t fit the usual well-coordinated liberal program of destroying America here.

Ha! More farmer hate....See my posted reply 86 to Balding_Eagle as he accurately described that we don't eat this stuff.

The streets and parking lots around our grain elevators here will soon be used as extra storage...as in mountains, during our typical yearly corn glut. Google image "corn mountains" for an idea.

“Farm Lobby” ethanol as you describe is usually exported anyhow, as it's generally produced by the same tax evading multinationals that elect our pols and they see that it commands a higher price.

Much of the ethanol we burn is forced upon our market by the economic hitmen of Wall Street who own the foreign debt of countries like Brazil and Venezuela... who then pay it off through negotiated trade agreements. These trade products end up in our fuel tanks. No way it's gonna be unadulterated fuel if you're boating it up here to pay off greedy Gringo Central Bankers in El Norte. They're gonna spit in it just like your taco down the street.

Bush2 negotiated the last round of ethanol agreements and the result has been described as a “conveyor belt” of tankers bringing crappy Venezuelan and Brazilian products to Gulf ports in the US. I suspect your engine damaging fuel probably began that way direct from some third world sh*thole.

I've walked the Ford production line on tour, Flex Fuel vehicles differ only by the addition of a sight glass device to determine computer settings based on ethanol content, that and the badge on the back is all. It's been that way for years. Chevrolet exports trucks to South America that differ only by broader engine computer ranges to allow for richer fuel settings, and to my understanding have been so since the advent of early 90s fuel injection.

If you own a vehicle that can be "damaged" by ethanol, it's probably time you traded up.
