Ethanol is a huge scam. It is bad for older automobile engines and components. It is a way to get rid of older vehicles in the fleet. This is one of the primary reasons the government continues to push it. They want older vehicles to be replaced by newer more efficient vehicles.
Vehicles are more ‘efficient’ because lighter (read less sturdy) materials are being used. Also, no full-size spare. At best, cars will have a ‘doughnut’. At worst, a tire repair kit. Only trucks and large SUV’s will come with a full spare.
Ethanol does nothing but pollute air and water, all the while destroying engines so people will be forced to buy a new one. One other ‘lovely’ side effect of all this corn being put into fuel tanks is the cost of corn goes up, making it harder for the poor to afford food. Corn should go into stomachs, not fuel tanks. This mandate shows how little the enviro-wackos and the DemocRATS truly care about the poor AND the environment.
Rant over.
