YES! Finally, end our government’s farmer welfare/enrichment program!

What is ethanol’s true energy balance (energy units produced vs energy units required to produce it) vs gasoline? http://www.energytrendsinsider.com/2006/04/08/energy-balance-for-ethanol-better-than-for-gasoline/

I now pay around 15% more to use non-oxi gas in my non-auto vehicles and power tools. Pulled apart and cleaned or replaced several carbs before doing so. BS!

Yes, but think about the makers of TRUEFUEL, Sta-bile, Star-tron, and all the other makers of non ethanol fuel and fuel additives that have come out in the last 5 years? What about them? Their entire business model revolves around the fact that the government forced us to have no choice in the fuel available to us.

I was in my local John Deere, Ariens, Stihl machinery dealer about a month ago. EVERY company(Stilhl, Briggs & Stratton, Huskavarna) have their own brand of non ethanol fuel bottled in 1 quart to 1 gallon containers. Home Depot has at least three different brands of non ethanol fuel.
There is a multi million dollar industry that has developed to combat the ethanol problem with small engines.
