How about getting the inefficient Ethanol out of the fuel chain first. You’d see vehicle mileage increase accordingly.

C for C destroyed an incredible amount of perfectly good used cars. A total sin.

How much pollution and resources were consumed to create the new vehicles to replace these perfectly good used vehicles?

The idiotic fools in government destroy everything they touch.

yep, recently brought an old 4 banger out of the backyard, where it sat for a few yrs [too small for multiple car seats] and magically, the mileage is down 10% [at least] over what it was...

Im starting to believe that the percentage of ethanol vs the reduction in power/MPG is more like a 1:2 trade...

I remember after I bought my 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier it took about a week for the gauge from the full tank to the 3/4 tank level. Now it takes me three short trips and its down to the 3/4 tank level and after that is goes down even faster
